He defected with a convair 240 to the communists in 1949. At first a hero and later badly mistreated by the red brigades. I met him about 5 or 6 years ago in China after he had been reinstated. He may be deceased. I would like to thank Dr. Henry Chang Jr., son-in-law of CNAC Captain Gordon Poon, for developing the follow link about Gordon Poon: http://laney25video.info/ If you would like to share any information about Gordon Poon or would like to be added to the CNAC e-mail distribution list, please let the CNAC Web Editor, Tom Moore, know.
