25 years ago, a Chinese and a U.S. plane collided over the waters off of China's southern coast. The Chinese pilot was never found, while the 24 surviving American crew members made an emergency landing on a Chinese military base on the island of Hainan.

In this special episode, The Wire China kicks off our two-part oral history series on the Hainan spy plane crisis, a defining diplomatic test for both nations at the beginning of the so-called "Asian Century." Editor Tom Mitchell, reporter Rachel Cheung, and the Wire China Team bring together the voices of the officials, pilots, diplomats, and military personnel who were there to understand how they navigated the crisis — and if such an incident might occur again.

The full oral histories will release in two parts on thewirechina.com over the next two weeks.
