Hong Kong Historical Aircraft Association

Submitted by IDJ on

The Hong Kong Historical Aircraft Association (HKHAA) was founded in 1992 by a small group of dedicated aviation enthusiasts with a simple but bold idea. Their goal was to build a full-size flying replica of the Farman biplane which in 1911, made the first powered flight in Hong Kong at Shatin. The replica was built, and flown successfully on 15 November 1997 at the new Hong Kong International Airport prior to its official opening. The Farman is now suspended from the roof of the terminal as a reminder to everyone using the airport of Hong Kong’s aviation origins.

Chinese in Hong Kong During WWII

I have read several books regarding the Japanese invasion and occupation of Hong Kong, 1941 - 1945.  Most have been autobiographical accounts given by those interred at Stanley during those years.  The remaining texts have been historical in nature.  All have been very useful to my understanding about what happened to Hong Kong and its European civilian and military population.
