A memorial service for the remains of American World War II pilots took place in Chengdu, China. The remains are believed to be those of the Air Force, specifically a unit then called the Air Transport Command, and probably belong to pilots who took part in the dangerous Himalayan Airlift mission.
The ceremony comes ahead of an expected summit between the two countries' top leaders - US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping - on November 19 at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen, China.
