In 1980, Ronald W. Jackson’s book, China Clipper, claimed two Japanese military officers sneaked on board the Hawaii Clipper during its overnight stay on Guam. The two men later hijacked the aircraft and took it to a Micronesia island. Part of the hijackers’ motivation was $3 million carried by Wah Sun Choy, a Chinese-American passenger on the flight. The money was to be delivered to Chiang Kai-shek to aid in the Nationalist’s defense against Japanese invaders.
Charles N. Hill’s book, Fix on the Rising Sun, published in 2000, also includes the hijacking of the Hawaii Clipper by Japanese officers. In Hill’s narrative, the aircraft was subsequently guided to Truk Atoll, and the crew and passengers were later killed.
Aviation historian Jon F. Myhre in 2013 issued “The Hawaii Clipper Update 5,” in which he proposed three theories, first that “the plane was hijacked by Japanese rebels,” and second, that “after losing its radios, the plane continued on towards Manila and crashed into a mountain.” The third theory Myhre explained as follows: “After reviewing the Air Safety Board investigation, I’m certain the Clipper exploded—or suffered some kind of in-flight structural failure at 0411 G.C.T.” Expanding on the third theory, he claimed “something electrical was definitely involved,” and concluded “something [dire] happened to the Clipper” in the vicinity of the oil slick sighted by the MEIGS.
