CNAC FLIGHT ATTENDANTS

NOTE
During the 1930's and 1940's these people were reffered to as "stewardesses" and "Stewards"
None of these people remember ever being called "Flight Attendants"

UPDATE March 19, 2021...

So I was going the CNAC Monthly Bulletin of August 1948, page 2 and I stumble across this article talking about THIRTEEN CNAC STEWARDESSES GIVEN "WINGS". Those names have been added to the list below listing all the flight attendants we know of, so far...

Do you know or remember any of these CNAC Stewardesses?
Chu-Xiong Zhou (Chu-Hsung Chou when he was with CNAC) identified some
of the women in this picture, including his wife, Cynda Wang.

In a memo dated JAN. 1948, E.M. Allison says, "Stewardesses instruction has been carried out during the year with result that 33 stewardesses have been graduated. The duties of these girls are considered very important as most passengers base their opinion of the company on the services rendered by the stewardesses. Other girls will be employed and trained as CNAC lines are extended and schedules increased."


This flight attendant is Wu Ming Ting or Jane Wu
