During WWII, Imperial Japan established a puppet regime in central-southern China with collaborationists there led by Jingwei Wang. The so-called Reorganized National Government of the Republic of China owned a meager air force, chiefly in the form of a military aviation school in Changzhou—the Central Air Force School. Information concerning the aircrafts operated by this institution and the accidents thereof is extremely obscure. Generally, the approximate date of accidents could only be inferred through indirect evidence.
After February 1944, several Tachikawa Ki-55 trainers were supplied to the Central Air Force School. One Ki-55 stalled while climbing and crashed; both the instructor Dongnan CHEN and the student pilot Teng'ao XU were killed.
