Description

This week we are going back in  time,  AND up in the  skies with our new series  on the Pan Americain World Airways Company. Pan am was an Airline Goleth but now it's  long  gone. In this series we will be talking about their meteoric rise followed  by their  slow decline  into bankruptcy.

This week we are focusing on the founder Juan Trippe and the early years of luxury travel aboard  Boeing 314 Flying Boats. We also talk about the early eccentric and cocky pilots  that epitomized Pan Ams Early years.  This story is full of larger than life characters and we hope you enjoy it!!
