Spot Kai Tak airport!

Difficult enough in fine weather, but in poor weather with few airport navigational aids to pilots in the 1940s-50s                                                                                                                                                                                                        It must have been a nightmare. Several aircraft and airliners came to grief on the sides of the mountains.
