I have always ben fascinated by the Flying boats, Particularly those of Pan-American Airways and there Famous Flying Clippers Boeing Model 314 Flying Boat. Flying in only 60 hours from San Fran cisco to Honk Kong, with stops in Honolulu, Midway Island, Wake Island, Guam Island and Macao.
This where Luxurious plans, there interiors more closely resembling a fine ocean liner than a plane. Fine meals where served, passengers had compartments, not just a chair. The Pan-Americans Clippers where all first class, and only the very well held could afford to travel by it.
In 1939, Hong Kong, a British protectorate on the edge of chaotic China is a lot like the way Casa Blanca was, but in the South Seas, Oriental instead of Colonial French Desert. It was filled with Many Europeans as will as refugees. China was in a 3 way civil war, Japan had invaded Manchuria.
