(Subject: Aviation - General) This book chronicles the history of Pan American World Airways, believed by many to be the world's greatest airline. From its modest beginnings in 1927 Pan Am grew to encompass the entire globe, always pioneering new routes, experimenting with the newest and best available aircraft, accumulating valuable experience in long-distance navigation. The author presents the story in sections, each organized around the acquisition of a new aircraft or the expansion of its air routes. 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. The book predates the Lockerbie tragedy and Pan Am's subsequent demise in 1991.
