 * Symbol question.svg Personally, I do not consider it sufficiently interesting that the airport was damaged. Considered military targets, airports are typically targeted for damage during wars, so it's not particularly surprising. I instead recommend the following alternatives.

 * ALT1: ... that Changchun Dafangshen Airport was controlled by four different armed forces within less than a year?
 * ALT2':... that four different armies controlled Changchun Dafangshen Airport between August 1945 and May 1946?


 * Thanks for proposing the ALTs, which are indeed more interesting than my own. would you mind reviewing the new hooks? Thanks in advance. -Zanhe (talk) 04:48, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
