FRIENDS & SUPPORTERS

YOUNG, SEN-YET (Yang Xianyi) was born in Hawai`i and educated at Iolani School and the University of Hawai`i.  After studying mechanical engineering and armaments manufacturing, he became a pilot and aviation expert.   Dr. Sun appointed him to train pilots and raise funds for airplanes, and he became head of the Chinese Aviation Bureau that produced the first Chinese-made airplane.   After an untimely death, he was buried in the Mausoleum of Seventy-two Martyrs in Canton.
