In 1931, Charles Lindbergh and his wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh flew to Nanjing, China, as part of their pioneering survey of potential transcontinental air routes. Their journey helped demonstrate the feasibility of long-distance aviation across Asia, combining exploration with diplomatic goodwill during a turbulent period in the region. While in Nanjing, they met with Chinese officials—including Chiang Kai-shek—and observed the political tensions that were rising just before the Japanese invasion of Manchuria later that year.
