Ok here's a bonanza of info, scroll all the way down to the bottom. they go alphabetically the United States is on the bottom, has some from 1930s'. Interesting, one shows gals in uniforms that look like Nurses uni's ,as being an RN was a requirement early on to be a stew. Sounds like a kind of party... melody

She thinks we should dress as stewardesses for the reunion. http://www.cnac.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_National_Aviation_Corporation She & I typically tend bar as the pilots, navigators, ground team (now in their 80s & 90s) swap lies & do a little "hangar flying". Does anyone know of sources for pictures, patches, pins, patterns & accessories for the ladies' uniforms? At this point we'd start with most any 30s stews' uniforms & improve them later. This is a fun, historical organization consisting of people who worked the "Hump" route in the late 30s & early 40s, their family members & aviation history buffs. CNAC was a supported China by flying supplies into Yunnan before the US actively joined the allies WWII.
