Event info is halfway down the HFF’s front page. As above, I’ll be appearing with Moon Chin, but what’ll make this event special is the presence of an actual airplane that once flew the Hump for the China National Aviation Corporation–as CNAC No. 100.

Thanks for checking in, Eric! I’ll add the identifier to the pic. I’ve got quite a lot of photos posted in the archives of the site. Can’t wait to hear what you think of China’s Wings. I only hope I’ve done the CNAC story justice. It’s a good one. Cheers, Greg

I just stumbled across this page while searching around. I see you found my photo of my grandfather, Sam Belieff, on the CNAC website. Thanks for having it up. Thats my grandfather leaning up against the engine nacelle (Captain Morgan pose). I’d love to see what else you have on the CNAC. And I’ll be picking up your book soon, thats how I found your page.

Sincerely,

Eric Ludwig
