Hope you can add something to these photos. Letter probably done very early in 1944   The photos are pretty much in the order they are in the album. If you can help with faces, places and dates, please let me know. Thanks. The following eight photos are of the famous DC-2 1/2    Mrs. Robert Ellsworth Brown of Ann Arbor, Michigan (Do you know her first name???)  Zed Soldinski      The following note about the below four photos comes from Greg Crouch. "That wrecked and repaired DC-2 is No. 24, right? And it looks like Hong Kong in the background, too. I think that's Moon's (Moon Chin) wreck in the autumn of 1941. I bet he hasn't seen those photos in 70 years."             Emil Scott on the left in crush cap  Six photos of Waikiki Beach        Claire Chennault and unknown  Most of these photos are probably taken at Kai Tak after the Japanese attack December 1941       Because of the white hat, I thought the guy looking up was a Clipper crew member. But no, this is Bill Price  December 8, 1941 - that’s December 7, 1941 in Honolulu, Hawaii. left to right Chuck Sharp, Pan Am pilot, in the white hat, of the Hong Kong Clipper II being shot up in the harbor, is Capt. Fred S. Ralph, Pop Kessler, Maj Woods and Emil Scott while they are hiding among boulders during a Jap raid a short distance from Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong. Manila bombed that same day. This photo also appears in "Wings Over Asia, Vol IV"      Don't know if this belongs to CNAC, but it is a Vultee V-1A   DC-2's or maybe DC-3's in the distance.   left to right Unknown, Unknown, Maj Major Woods and Unknown  Greg Crouch says, "I think the following four photos of the remains of the burned out DC-2 in a stand of trees is the wreckage of # 31, your uncle's (Emil Scott) plane. See Olga Greenlaw's book, The Lady and the Tigers".          Anybody know who did this drawing?  Unknown and Unknown    OK, who are these guys?  Has this plane been shot-up? See ceiling.         Brad Smith has identified this as Hostel #1 in Kunming, China, formally a Chinese agricultural collage, but used as barracks by the AVG. Thank you Brad.       Tell me about this house/place.   The car is a 1939 Ford Station Wagon Bill Price  Unknown, Unknown and Unknown  Unknown CNAC mechanic, Troy Haynie and Chuck Sharp      Barbara "Bab" Huang (George Huang's wife) and Unknown  Barbara "Babs" Huang, George Huang and Unknown       OK, this is a pretty unusual structure - What and where is it?
