not french[edit]

hello ! i am a french student, and a would like to have this document in french! it is possible? 2A01:CB10:36C:5600:994B:855A:5653:AEF3 (talk) 10:12, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Dale Scott's article cited Wikipedia article asserting Dr. Chung was involved in trafficking narcotics with Bugsy Siegel's consort[edit]

The evidence is mighty slim. In particular, Scott says that Chung was "attending physician" to Chennault's pilots. That more than suggests she was in the area of operations of the Flying Tigers, which were absorbed into USAAF after Pearl Harbor. She was not! She recruited pilots for the Flying Tigers, and during the war helped start the WAVES, and was involved in all sorts of troop support activities in the US.

The comment that she was "attending physician" would put her into a combat zone. And that is disingenuous, to put it mildly. And Scott knows it.

The conspiratorial haze is thick, and, on this point, the evidence non-existent. Scott's article is interesting, amusing, and on some subjects, insightful. Not on this. His language is strident and prone to "deep-state" conspiracy theory. But on Chung? Without real evidence. Even if, in wartime, she know where dope peddlers were in San Francisco, that would not be that unusual.

Furthermore, if she had information to identifying them for government agents, at their request, what is her misconduct. The assertion that Chung combined with Bugsy Siegel's girlfriend to smuggle narcotics, as enticing as that might sound, ought to backed up with something solid. It is not.

"The FBN by this time was aware that Margaret Chung, the attending physician to the pilots of Chennault’s wartime airline, was involved with Bugsy Siegel’s friend Virginia Hill “in the narcotic traffic in San Francisco.”⁸⁹ During World War II, when the Office of Naval Intelligence through the OSS approached Dr. Chung for some specific intelligence on China, she “volunteered that she could supply detailed information . . . ‘from some of the smugglers in San Francisco.’”^90"
