The Origins of Airmail in China & Hong Kong 1919-1922

The wages of high-class Chinese mechanics of the above description would be about $1 to $1.50 per day. Special Limitations as to Working Hours. None. Air Pilots. None. Vermin Fungoid or other Parasitic Pests. White ants and cockroaches abound in Hong Kong and are extremely destructive. I am informed by a Civil engineer having a long experience of the Colony that whilst various preservatives are used to mitigate the ravages of these pests, none have been found entirely effective. Missions from Foreign Countries None. Agreements under Negotiation with Foreign Governments or Foreign Aviation Firms. None. Aircraft Competitions and Exhibitions. None. Regulations Legislation or Treaties and Areas Prohibited to Civilian Aircraft. No regulations have yet been formulated, nor have any prohibited areas been defined, pending the receipt of instructions from His Majesty’s Government to whom the whole question has been referred. Feeling with Regard to British Competition. Being a British Crown Colony it may safely be presumed that British firms interested in aviation will receive all possible assistance from the Colonial Authorities. General. No remarks.
