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 would find an end. However, immediately after, new wars erupted in Korea and in the French Indochina.
