中国—现代机械设备的匮乏并不能阻止人力资源丰富的中国人修建现代化飞机场。成千上万的中国民工团结一致进行这项工作,成千上万的人造独轮车用来运输建筑材料,甚至连铺垫跑道的碎石也靠人工敲凿砸开。美国工程师负责监理工程施工,与中国军队工程专家们协调配合。图片内容:来自麻省马布尔黑德的区域工程师沃尔多·肯那森中校,正在现场和战地记者谈论工程,好奇的中国民工在一旁围观。左起:《时代周刊》记者怀特、肯那森中校、美国新闻通讯社的詹姆斯·斯特沃特、《纽约时报》记者布鲁克斯·阿特金森。

Lack of modern equipment and machinery isn't stopping the resourceful Chinese from building modern airfields in China.Three hundred thousand Chinese workers have been conscripted to do the job.A hundred thousand little handmade wheelbarrows are used to transport materials--and even the chipping of stones for the runways is done by hand.American engineers,working in conjunction with Chinese army engineers,are supervising the job.Photo shows:Lt.Col.Waldo I.Kennerson,District engineer from Marblehead,Mass.,discusses work on the field with war correspondent as coolies eye the group curiously.Left to Right:T.White of Time Magazine;Col.Kennerson;James Stewart of the American information service;and Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times.
