Please help me translate it, it could possibly help me learn about my family history. also, i appoligize if the picture is upside down, i cant remember which side is up

Thanks!

It is upside-down and it is not in Japanese. That is two strikes!

It is in Chinese saying:

"Republic of China
Airways Committee
XXX"

The last line consisting of 3 characters is too blurry to read.
