Air America Association
Memorial Dedication The McDermott Library The University of Texas at Dallas May 30, 1987.
Remarks of Dr. William Leary, Professor of History, University of Georgia, Athens, GA.
The story of Air America began in 1947 when two talented and adventurous men-Gen. Claire Chennault and Whitey Willauer--started a small airline in postwar China. They called it CNRRA Air Transport, and they hauled relief supplies throughout the country. After a year of hauling United Nations cargo they got a commercial contract and changed the name of the airline to Civil Air Transport--CAT--and they began operating throughout the country on a commercial basis. They never had much money, operating conditions were always difficult, but they had innovation and dedicated personnel-and they had what Gen. Chennault like to call "the CAT spirit"-which I think has been a central part of the organization ever since.
By the end of 1948, CAT was deeply involved in China's civil war. CAT evacuated more than 100,000 desperate people from the doomed city of Mukden in Manchuria. They brought in supplies and carried out wounded during the epic battle of Hsuchow. In one of the most heroic and least known airlifts in history, CAT flew long missions to Taiyuan, supporting Marshal Yen His-shan in his struggle against the communist.
