Default Historic china clipper caught en route to nz

Hi All

I thought I would share this story of an Historical China Clipper caught en route to New Zealand, on Dec 7 1941.

This is a great 5 min video of the historical China Clipper caught en route to NZ as the Japenese attacked Pearl Harbor.

Turn up your sound and enjoy some Aviation history of their epic flight back to the USA.

Cheers

Yes mate, I thought it was a worthy read. I also think it could be made into a good Hollywood movie.

Cheers
