The China National Aviation Corporation (CNAC), founded in 1929 through a partnership between Curtiss-Wright and the Chinese government, played a pioneering role in establishing commercial air service in China, significantly contributing to aviation history until its closure in 1949. Known for its perilous operations, particularly over the treacherous flying routes referred to as "the Hump," CNAC became a critical link during World War II and remains a significant part of aviation lore.

Throughout its history, CNAC fostered connections among its members, veterans, and their families, preserving the legacies of those who contributed to its mission. The organization continues to honor the memories of its personnel through various publications, memorials, and storytelling, ensuring that their sacrifices and achievements are never forgotten.
