Hong Kong was a critical juncture point for air connections - certainly for Pan Am, both before and after the war.  It was a favorite stop for Pan Am crews and passengers alike. One of the legendary stories that have come down the years is that of "Sampan Annie," the woman whose abilities as a "waterman" in handling Pan Am's big flying boats as they were guided to the dock adjacent to the Kai Tak Aerodrome became famous.

He thinks she may be the woman in the bottom-right corner of this photo:

Soong family-251 Repulse Bay-1940-passenger list

Submitted by IDJ on Mon, 2016-03-28 17:51

1940
Places shown in this photo: 
Repulse Bay [????- ]

Passenger list extract from a Pan American Trans-Pacific Clipper flight from Hong Kong to Honolulu via Manila. The two young Soong girls appear to be from the Chinese government's TV Soong's family. Presumably the two adult females are escorts.

No doubt someone will be able to identify where 251 Repluse Bay was or still is?
