Your CNAC Web Editor received the following note from Chu-Xiong Zhou. Oct. 2nd. 2000 Dear Mr. Moore My name is Chu-Xiong Zhou. When I was a co-pilot in CNAC it was spelled Chu-Hsung Chou. For short, people usually just call me "C.H.". I am very glad to get the CNAC flight attendants picture from the web site. I recognize four stewards in the picture. (Click here to see the picture and those women that were identified.) I have also sent you the following picture taken on the last day CNAC evacuated from Shanghai to Hong Kong. At the end of the run-way: Lung Hwa Airport Shangahi. It was the middle of May 1949. As you can see in the picture I was in an American GI uniform with a CNAC symbol on my hat, which was placed on top of a run-way light. The picture was taken by another co-pilot Mr. S.Y. Hsung. Both of us were flying C-46s. The last two cargo ships to leave the mainland. Hope you like the picture. (actual size of photo) (This is much better) (This is as big as I could go without more distortion.) Chu-Hsung Chou Lung Hwa Airport Shanghai, 1949 Best wishes. Sincerely yours, Chu-Xiong Zhou (masterzhou1@yahoo.cn) August 6, 2005 Zhou is now teaching Tai Chi in Everett, Washington. His students call him "Master Joe". Here is a local newspaper article about Master Joe from 2004. Prior to flying for CNAC he was trained to fly P-51 Mustangs in Arizona. WWII had ended when he completed his training. His wife, Cynda Wang, was a CNAC stewardess. or would like to be added to the CNAC e-mail distribution list, please let the CNAC Web Editor, Tom Moore, know. Thanks! |
