CNAC

The China National Aviation Corporation (CNAC), founded in 1929 in partnership with the Chinese government and Curtiss-Wright, was a pioneering force in commercial air service throughout China until its demise in 1949. Initially taken over by Pan American Airways in 1933, CNAC is renowned for its historic flights over the treacherous Hump route during World War II.

CNAC played a significant role in advancing aviation in China, and its legacy is preserved through various memorials and publications that honor the contributions of its pilots, crew, and staff. The organization continues to foster connections among those with ties to CNAC, encouraging the sharing of stories and memorabilia to keep its history alive.
