In September 1949 the Nationalist Chinese government had forty CATC aircraft evacuated to Kai Tak. Note the flying boat - a Sunderland? This C-46, construction number unknown, was shipped from Hong Kong to the USA in October 1952. Another C-46, c/n 22451 / 2560 was registered as XT-524 in Tawain at some point. That one was ex XT-850 and B-850. Photo by: Howard Sochurek / Life This photo was added on 13 July 2022, and has since been viewed 360 times. |
