Moon Fun Chin (Chinese: 陳文寬; April 13, 1913 – May 9, 2023) was a Chinese-American aviator, businessman and supercentenarian. A native of Taishan, Guangdong, he immigrated to the United States, and obtained a pilot's license there. In 1933, he returned to China for aviation development. Moon was the deputy director of the aviation team of the China National Aviation Corporation, and later the director and deputy manager of the aviation team of Central Air Transport.[1]
Moon piloted the plane to transport Jimmy Doolittle after the American air raid on Tokyo in 1941, and also the executive plane to transport Chiang Kai-shek, Sun Fo, Dai Li, T. V. Soong, Chiang Ching-kuo and other senior officials. In 1951, together with Dai Anguo, Cai Kefei and others, he co-founded TransAsia Airways in Taiwan. In 1983, China National Industrial Group bought 70% of the shares of TransAsia Airways, and Moon returned to the United States, this time moving to San Francisco, California. He resided in Hillsborough, California.[2][3]
Moon died on May 9, 2023, at the age of 110 years, 26 days.[4]
