Anne, that’s so fabulous. Thanks for reaching out. I met him during the first three or four reunions when I was working on CHINA’s WINGS. Cool dude. Those guys were amazing. Breaks my heart that none of them are with us anymore. Best, Greg

My father Charles Rountree was a Hump pilot in the early 40s and flew 640 missions. He went to all reunions until about 2007. He passed away in 2008. Pete Goutiere would visit often as they both lived in South Florida. Dad went to China when invited for the dedication to the WWII CNAC aviators. Other special friends were Moon Chin, Bill Maher, Christie Hanks, Len Parrish, and Lad Moore. We miss him and all the brave pilots, mechanics, and others who served in this campaign.

Dear Joseph, Sorry to be so slow in replying to you. “Kai Tak Airport nestled against the base of Kiowloon Peak” is also a photo from the Shirley Wilke Mosley collection. I’ll ask around and see if I can find who has the rights now that Shirley has passed. Apologies, Greg

I am a curator from Hong Kong Chu Hai College, working on a government-led public exhibition about Old Hong Kong. The exhibition content will be on display permanently and freely accessible to the public. The image captioned “Kai Tak airport nestled against the base of Kowloon Peak” (CNAC003.jpg) is a perfect fit to the exhibition. Could you kindly advise who owns the copyright of this image?

Another image captioned “Kai Tak airport, pre-war, showing the main hangar and a flying boat tied up at the Pan Am pontoon” (CNAC001.jpg) from Shirley Wilke Mosley collection also looks good to me. Sad to know Shiley already passed away. Trying my luck, do you know who owns this image now?

Much appreciated and thanks in advance!

Regards,
Joseph

So glad you enjoyed Enduring Patagonia! Thanks for reaching out.

Dear Greg,

Thanks a lot for getting back to me and for looking into Shirley’s photo collection. I really appreciate your help.
I’m sorry to hear that Shirley passed away. She sounds like she was an amazing person and it’s great to know that she had such interesting memories to share.
Feel free to reach out to me via email if there are any updates.

Best,
Phoebe

Dear Pheobe,

Thanks for reaching out. Shirley passed away a year or two ago, unfortunately. Let me see if I can figure out who has control of her photo collection now that she’s gone. She was a delightful woman. Tons of fun. She was a little girl in Shanghai and Hong Kong in the 1930s and had incredible memories of events.

Thanks, Greg
