Chinese Air Force Sea Rescue Service
The Chinese Air Force Sea Rescue Service [CAFSRS] was first established to take care of airmen shot down over the chinese sea area. Rescues are performed normally by the service's own aircraft, but where the hazards of water landing are too great, the actual rescue is made by surface craft. These craft may be attached to the service or may be simply lent to it for a particular rescue.
CAFSRS units were subordinated to the
Airfleet within whose area they serve. These units were organized into three sea rescue commands, each of which is headed by a
Sea Rescue Service Chief with the rank of colonel. Single rescue planes were often attached to combat units which operated over water. Used Aircrafts are GY-115's, Do-24's, G35A's and SAC-52's.
