''China's Wings: War, Intrigue, Romance and Adventure in the Middle Kingdom during the Golden Age of Flight'' is a 2012 book by Gregory Crouch, published by Bantam Books. The book discusses the history of the China National Aviation Corporation (CNAC) and is focused on William Langhorne Bond as the central character.〔Mondor, p. 3.〕 Harry Eagar of the ''Maui News'' stated that "is largely a biography of Bond."〔Eagar〕 The book also describes Moon Fun Chin, a Chinese-American who rose from peasant roots, to become a lead CNAC pilot and finally to owning his own airline.〔Bergin〕 Among other events, the book discusses the establishment of the first airline in China, the Second Sino-Japanese War, "The Hump" airlift, and the 1938 Kweilin incident.〔Muller, p. 67〕 The book ends after the 1949 Communist takeover.〔''Kirkus Reviews''〕 ==Background== The author used interviews with surviving CNAC staff, including Moon Fun Chin; Bond's letters, memoirs, and reports; and archival materials made by CNAC pilots. Richard R. Muller, who reviewed the book for ''World War II'' magazine, stated that these sources, including Bond's recollection of the evacuation of Hong Kong, were "impeccable".〔Muller, p. 68〕
