China National Aviation Corporation (CNAC) Transport Aircraft at NAS Agana, Guam, Postwar Period
This photograph documents a China National Aviation Corporation airliner on the tarmac at Naval Air Station Agana, Guam, a vital Pacific stopover for both military and civilian aircraft in the years following World War II. CNAC, jointly operated by Pan American Airways and the Chinese government, played a critical role in postwar trans-Pacific and Asian air transport, and images like this preserve the intersection of military and civil aviation history in the region.
