Abstract

As an organization the OSS’s part in the war in China as remained chronically under documented in the Historical record of the CBI. This study analyzes the impact that one small sub unit of the OSS known as (Air Ground Forces Recourses and Technical Staff) AGFRTS had in China. This improbable organization was designed to blend in with the multitude of other organizations operating in China at the time. As we will show the creation of AGFRTS was a response to Nationalist corruption by the OSS.
