Civil aviation operations reveal how covert support, shifting alliances, and strategic missions transformed a civilian airline into a vehicle for geopolitical influence across Asia in the mid-20th century.
After the withdrawal of the USA and then the government and forces of the Kuomintang from the Mainland China, and the declaration of the People's Republic of China (PRC) led by Mao Tse Tung, it appeared that the times of the Civil Air Transport (CAT) would find an end. However, immediately after, new wars erupted in Korea and in the French Indochina. Moreover, the USA, keen to subvert the nascent PRC, began supporting the CAT and providing it with new tasks. Maintaining a civilian appearance and flying scheduled passenger flights, the airline thus began serving the Nationalist Chinese and then came into possession of the CIA, that run it via its subsidiary, a private Delaware Corporation (also Airdale Corporation).
