BEIJING - To Comrade ZAKHAROV
for Comrade ZHOU ENLAI
Your request about advisers for the Chinese Air Army will be satisfied. I consider it more advisable to give you advisers who know China and are familiar with the air war in Korea. As adviser to the command of the Air Army we suggest Major General GOLUNOV, who is attached to General of the Army ZAKHAROV. The list of remaining advisers will be communicated separately.
