Wings Over Hong Kong

Pacific Century

The romance and glamour of international air travel have captured the imagination for nearly a century. In fact the aeroplane has played a starring role in Hong Kong’s miraculous success story from the first flight in 1911 to the inauguration of the new Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok in 1998. Extensively illustrated by rare archive material – including previously unpublished photographs, Wings Over Hong Kong is a gripping read that celebrates the colourful characters and heart-stopping dramas that put Hong Kong on the map as one of the world’s truly cosmopolitan cities.
