Central Aircraft Manufacturing Company

Pawley's factory was reconstituted in Hankou under the direction of Bruce Gardner Leighton, who acted as general manager between 1937–1939.

When Hankou fell in October 1938, CAMCO moved to Hengyang and added Vultee V-11 light bombers to its product line.

[2][3] From offices in Rangoon and New York City, CAMCO also provided housekeeping and record-keeping services for the AVG until its disbandment in July 1942.

Following the Allied retreat from Burma in the spring of 1942, the CAMCO plant was lost to the Japanese, and Pawley moved his operation to Bangalore, India, where he evidently joined forces with an Indian firm, Hindustan Aircraft Ltd.

Here he assembled Harlow trainers for the Indian Air Force and arguably launched Bangalore on its 20th century path as the high-tech centre on the subcontinent.
