U.S. Navy personnel service the engine of a biplane aircraft in China during the 1930s, prior to America's entry into World War II. This image, preserved as an original photographic negative, documents the routine maintenance work that kept naval aviation assets operational during the era of the Yangtze Patrol and broader U.S. Navy presence in China.
