Backed by the Korean Provisional Government, Korean immigrants opened an aviation school in Willows, California, to train pilots for the independence struggle-a forerunner of the Republic of Korea Air Force. (Established Feb 20; grand opening July 5, 1920.)
1929
history
On February 20, 1929, nearly three decades after Samoan chiefs signed the Deeds of Cession, the U.S. Congress passed a joint resolution formally accepting and ratifying the cession of American Samoa. The long delay reflected an ambiguous status that still leaves American Samoans U.S. nationals rather than citizens.
