    I contacted the author of The Long Way Home a few years ago. He said the movie rights had been sold. The author’s email address no longer works.

    As I read this I thought it sounded familiar. The story is based largely on the book The Long Way Home:

    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:

    And the fun movie China Clipper:
