Chennault Loses Airline Fight in Hong Kong Court
Retired Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault lost his bid to join a Chinese government suit over airline assets seized in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong supreme court denied his petition to become a co-plaintiff in a case to release CNAC and CATC property valued around 1.5 million dollars. Chinese employees obtained a court injunction to block transfers to the Nationalists, challenging Chennault’s ownership claim as a nationalist maneuver. The dispute now centers on whether Nationalists or Communists gain control of the two airlines’ assets in the British crown colony.
