List of aircraft used in China before 1937

This is a partial list of aircraft acquired in China prior to the start of the Second Sino-Japanese war on 7 July 1937, and an incomplete list of Chinese warlords involved in the acquisition of these aircraft, many for the inventory of their own aviation units.[1][2]

The Rosamonde biplane, the first indigenously designed aircraft in China shown here with Mme. Soong Qingling and Dr. Sun Yat-sen; Mme. Soong would fly as a passenger in the plane with pilot Huang Guangrui at the controls
This list is incomplete; you can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

Warlord air forces of China

Various aircraft in Chinese provincial/warlord service, along with overseas-Chinese volunteer pilots, had crossed-over into the centralized command (ROCAF) of the nominally Nationalist Air Force of China by 1937 in preparations for the impending war against the Empire of Japan.

China laid the ground work for its own Air Service in 1910 when a facility was set up in Peking (today called Beijing) to develop aircraft. Flying and training others on the Taubes was entrusted to Zee Yee Lee, who had recently returned from leaning to fly at the Bristol School in Great Britain.
