Xu Huansheng (Chinese: 徐焕升; pinyin: Xú Huànshēng; Wade–Giles: Hsu Huang-sheng; 1906 – March 4, 1984) was a combat aviator of the Republic of China Air Force.

[6][7][8][9][10] In March 1938, then-Captain Xu Huansheng was leading the training at Fenghuangshan Airbase (凤凰山空军基地) for a long-range strategic bombing into the Japanese home islands, choosing the Martin B-10 bomber (a.k.a.

Model 139W) as the ideal aircraft in the Chinese Air Force inventory to take-on the transoceanic mission; specifically with the targeting of Sasebo Naval Base and Yawata (steel works).

Xu and Lt. Tong and their crews returned to Wangjiadun Airbase by midday, where they were greeted with fanfare by top dignitaries including Premier Kung Hsiang-hsi and chief CCP-KMT liaison Zhou Enlai.
