Synopsis
This book chronicles the history of what many aviation enthusiasts believe to be the world's greatest airline - Pan American. From its modest beginnings in 1927 the airline grew to encompass the entire globe, always pioneering new routes, experimenting with the newest and best aircraft availiable, accumulating valuable experience in long-distance navigation and weather forecasting. The author presents the growth of Pan American in sections, each organized around the acquisition of a new aircraft or the expansion of its air routes. In addition to documenting the growth of an airline, the book recreates the step-by-step growth of commercial aviation technology, from the early Fokkers and Ford Tri-Motors to today's giant Boeing, Douglas, and Lockheed turbojets, as shown in the detailed illustations.
