Black Christmas

from Plane Tales

After WWII many American pilots were employed by the growing Chinese airline industry flying from poorly equipped airfields in China. The weather was often difficult and the terrain dangerous but on Christmas day 1946, struggling to get back to their base at Lunghwa airfield tragedy would strike… not once but three times. This is the awful story of that night in Shanghai. A CNAC Curtis C46. Images under Creative Commons licence with thanks to CNAC archives and National Museum of the USAF.
