Fromthe 1960-1962 CNAC mailing list: Lundy, Woodrow p From the 1965 CNAC mailing list: Lundy, Woodrow Wilson July 28, 2022 Strolling around on ebay.com I find the following envelope, and using Ancestry.com, I find out that Mrs. Lundy was Woody's wife, Mary Louise. July 30, 2022 I am in touch with the Lundy family. Stay tuned as more is to come about this man... The Lundy's were friends of "Sam" Miller's. February 18, 2022 Dear Tom, I have some information to add for my father's CNAC.org page. I have all of my father's pilot logbooks, including the one he used when flying for CNAC. The first entry (p. 2) in the CNAC book is on April 14, 1945 when he began the first of his three Link Trainer sessions in Calcutta. I have attached a scan of the page. The page also includes his first flights as co-pilot, beginning on May 14, 1945 in the Calcutta area. His first real flight as co-pilot was on May 21, 1945 from Calcutta to Dinjan and then on to Kunming. I think this was his first Hump flight, Dinjan to Kunming. I have also included scans of p. 16 which indicates that he checked out as pilot and Captain on August 18, 1945 and of p. 88 which indicates his last flight was within China, from Hankow to Shanghai, on March 1, 1947. If I can determine how many Hump flights he made from his logbook, I will let you know. I need to determine the modern names of some of the places in the logbook. My mother, who as an adult used only her middle name, Louise, joined my father in Shanghai in March, 1946. They lived in a house in Shanghai with the families of three other CNAC pilots. I think that house was in the American or British section. Other residents in the house included Sam (Stanley A.) and Neta Miller. Mother returned to the States in March, 1947, when the political situation in China made it advisable for some CNAC family members to leave China. She was pregnant with me, their first child (daughter). Woody followed her back to the States within a few weeks. Woody and Louise had two more daughters, Sally and Lucy, in the next few years. In the 1950s, Woody became a Southern Airways flight instructor for the U.S. Air Force in Bainbridge, GA; in the 1960s, he was a Southern Airways flight instructor at the U.S. Army Primary Helicopter School in Mineral Wells, TX. Please use any of this information as you think best. Thank you for all the incredible work you have done on the CNAC website. I will send two more messages after this one: scans of photos of Woody and scans of his CNAC wings and some of his pins. All best wishes, Windy Lundy And here's more... Portrait photo in his khaki uniform. In the cockpit, in the co-pilot's seat. With one of the CNAC planes. By the tail of a C-46. By a CNAC Gull-Wing Stinson. I noticed that on Stanley A. (Sam) Miller's page that there a few photos of Miller and some of the CNAC planes. I have copies of some of those same photos. Woody had a camera in China, but I don't know if he took the pictures of Sam, or, if the same pictures I have of the planes were taken by Sam. Tom, Here's the final message - I have attached photos of several of Woody's CNAC pins and his wings that are not represented in the miscellaneous section on the CNAC website. The wings are gold in color. The two pinbacks bear the numbers 1958 and 1970, but I do not know their significance and I do not have pictures of Woody with them on his CNAC uniform. The Chung pins do not appear in any of the photos of Woody in his uniform. The single pin representing the central crest on the CNAC wings also does not appear in any photos of Woody in his uniform. Finally, are images (front and verso) of the leather Chinese flag that the pilots carried in case they crash landed and need help from anyone who found them. The verso has the English translation of the Chinese characters on the front of the flag. The writing is not Woody's except his signature, so I am not clear on why the dates 1937-1940 appear because Woody was not in China in those years. Perhaps the flag originally belonged to another pilot. Again, thank you so much for all the work you have done with the website. If you have questions, please let me know. All best wishes, Windy Lundy If you would like to share any information about Woodrow Wilson Lundy or would like to be added to the CNAC e-mail distribution list, please let the CNAC Web Editor, Tom Moore, know. Thanks!
