CNAC CEO Col. Wong Tsu "June 3, 2007      I am editing the papers and photographs of my grandfather Captain Bruce G Leighton who was vice president of CAMCO and Intercontinent Corporation in China 1937-1939. Colonel Wong Tsu worked with my grandfather because the colonel was the chief government representative at the factories and seems to have remained so from the factory's first location at Hankow to its eventual transfer to Loiwing at the top of the Burma Road in 1939.      I have posted on Dan Ford's website (http://www.warbirdforum.com/roster5.htm) a photograph taken by my grandfather that I believe shows Wong Tsu in the middle wearing a dark cut away suit. the picture I believe was taken at the time of the opening of the Loiwing factory in 1939. You will see in the picture, Bill Pawley the president of CAMCO/Intercontinent on the far left at the back ( black hair, white shirt) and on the far right in shorts, wearing a tie, C.W. Hunter the top manager of the Loiwing factory. Others in the photo include ed Pawley, brother of Bill (third from right)      I would be very interested to be able to identify all of the Chinese in this photograph. I very much look forward to your eventual response kind regards Eugenie Buchan 102 St John's Hill London SW11 1SH"      You can see the results of her inquiry by clicking on the title above.
