Apparently the Japs had a headquarters in Hong Kong and they got 3 visits from some B25’s.

Colonel Robert L. Scott strafed the Jap Headquarters and other buildings in 1940 in a P-40. He was a part of the famed “Flying Tigers”. (American volunteers to the Chinese
National Army.) Read the book “God is my Co-pilot”.

B-24’s and B-25’s from the Fourteenth Air Force, based in Kunming, China, and commanded by General Claire Chennault raided Hong Kong.
