Abstract

After the outbreak of the Comprehensive Anti-Japanese War, the National Government appealed for aircraft donation among civil servants. Civil servants in Sichuan maintained middle enthusiasm during the whole process of donation. But for civil servants, the airplane donation did not bring economic pressure; for the air force, the small donation made little difference in armament expansion. The donation had more symbolic significance than practical usage; it stimulated the patriotic spirit of civil servants, and made them play a supportive role in the War of Resistance. At the same time, with the inspiration of patriotism, the National Government achieved better results in civil servant management.
