19 July 1914

T.K. Wong, a Chinese living in England, designed and built a biplane at Shoreham Aerodrome in Sussex with the intent to manufacture the type in Asia. Called the “Tong-Mei” ("Dragonfly”), it was shipped to Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, in the Federated Malay States. On July 19, 1914 Wong flew 20 minutes perfectly but then the Anzani engine stopped and he apparently stalled and crashed. Thankfully, Mr. Wong was uninjured, but the biplane was smashed.
