November 23, 2021 About our fathers accidents: After the war, they were working for CATC (Centra Air Transport CO) in China. Due to the bad weather and heavy fog, they were perished in the airplane accidents in 1946: Jimmy Mar's trip from Nanking to Shanghai and my father's trip to 漢口. I was five years old and Louise was four at that time. Somehow those memories were as fresh as 75 years ago to us. If you have any more questions, I will try my best to answer you.  or would like to be added to the CNAC e-mail distribution list, please let the CNAC Web Editor, Tom Moore, know. Thanks! |
