From The Dragon's Wings by William M. Leary, Jr. (Copyright © 1976) "American business enterprise took the lead in advancing a program to inaugurate commercial air service in China. Curtiss-Wright, the leading aeronautical corporation in the United States at the time, founded the China National Aviation Corporation (CNAC) in partnership with the Chinese government in 1929. Subsequently taken over by Pan American Airways in 1933, CNAC pioneered commercial air service throughout the Middle Kingdom until the airline's demise in 1949." |

If you have any CNAC material you would like to add it to this site, please let me, the CNAC Web Editor, know -- my name is Tom Moore. I should like particularly to request the Chinese pilots, co-pilots, crewmen and staff who took part in CNAC events to send me their stories. It is not necessary that these narratives be in the polished style of the professional writer, for it is the substance, not the form, which is all-important. And pictures! Remember a picture is worth 10,000 words -- people, aircraft, airports, offices, old stomping grounds, haunts from the past -- you get the idea. Even the smallest item will be posted and I'm sure that it would be of interest to many! Thanks!! |
