On this day Oct 1st 1949
The communists took over mainland China. My Godfather was on the 2nd to the last plane out of Shanghai to Taiwan. He had to grab the Ambassador from Nanjing and bring him to the airport in Shanghai to get him out of the country.
When we got a few drinks in him he'd tell the story. Made Indiana Jones looks mild. |

I bet those were trying times for Godfather. Glad they made it out and bet he has some interesting stories.
