As I read this I thought it sounded familiar. The story is based largely on the book The Long Way Home: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00457XJ2K/ https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00457XJ2K/ The author acknowledges this at the end of part three and recommends that you buy the book. I recommend it too. If you are interested in the story of the China Clippers and other flying boats, I also recommend the mini docudrama series Across the Pacific: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0887SGVPX/ https://smile.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0887SGVPX/ And the fun movie China Clipper: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FGI69ZG/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FGI69ZG/
