OCTOBER 20, 1945
BETWEEN SHANGHAI AND CANTON


From Fletcher Hank's, "WHEN AND HOW THE CNAC CRASHES HAPPENED ON THE HUMP AND ITS ENVIRONS DURING WWII" (hand-dated 5/4/02)

On October 20, 1945, Frank (Higgs) was flying between Shanghai and Canton, supposedly with some bankers aboard (and much gold and currency); the plane crashed into a mountain, killing all aboard. A newspaper clipping from Shanghai said there were 20 passengers aboard.
