Pan Am was huge for us in WW2, born 15 years after WW2 the American pride was very strong, every morning we'd pledge allegiance to the USA hand over heart. God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸

2:27 What plane ?

I'd be very reassured to have Frank Sinatra tell me that the situation is under control.

The build process ?

The Golden Age of Air Travel Across the Pacific, If You Could Afford it ! You could buy a Car for the price of a ticket ! It Was the Thing of Mystery Novels To Travel Across the Pacific on the " CHINA CLIPPER " ! ALSO before the JAPANESE Attack on Pearl Harbor, One of the " Clippers " Disappeared on a Flight from GUAM TO MANILA PHILIPPINES! Some think that Japanese Military Personnel Hijacked The "CLIPPER " and Flew it to A Military Base to DISCOVER ITS SECRETS ! AROUND THE 16 MINUTE TIME LINE PAN AM "CLIPPER " CREWS LEARN OF THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR !

In 😂21st Century Previous RE-ELECTED U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WILL MAKE THE USA 🇺🇸 A GREAT COUNTRY AGAIN AND ACKNOWLEDGE THIS KIND OF HISTORIC VICTORY UNKNOWN TO MODERN MILLENNIALS OF THE 21ST CENTURY

Thanks for this AMAZING AMERICAN 🇺🇸 WORLDWIDE HISTORY OF PAN AMERICAN WORLD AIRWAYS AIRLINES 🇺🇸

Did he say pathetic souls hihi

Thank you for informative video/history. Another lost fact about Pan Am's War contribution, they wouldn't charge the US Govt., donating PanAms, personnel, ships, organizing supplies & Labor while privately disparaging the (then only domestic carrier TWA's) owner as a "War Profiteer" as documented profits from US War Svcs paid dearly for ever minute of Hughes companies services. Juan Trippes dedication&belief was steadfast: When your government needs your help, or you see where you could be of significant service, you do so without a seconds thought. Sadly, it wasn't a mutual relationship, when PAA could've used a friend throughout congressional deregulation, none were to be found. Throughout every Dept of Defense engagement, benefited by air services: WWII; Korea; Vietnam; PanAm continued to DONATE R&R services w/no fees for service to US Govt/D,O.D. Desert Storm was somewhat different as unmarked civilian air craft were covertly routed into theater one last time, utilizing Pan Am employees to work out air routes, rather than actual flying albeit, still without fees for services.These examples are separate from PanAm CRAF Fleet, within which multiple UScarriers participated & continue to do so in twenty-first century (sans PanAmerican World Airways aka PAA). Pan Ams WWII contributions cannot be understated, where mapping the route for flying the hump is only one of a plethora of pioneering missions. To date, where civilians research PanAm Firsts, only commercial accomplishments are listed, DOD missions still modestly hushed, as Juan Trippe would've thought they should remain.

Air Travelers have ruined the World. No one needs to go 1,000s of miles from where they are born !

My grandfather was the Captain for the Hong Kong Clipper in Hong Kong. Captain Gred Ralph. He was and "O.G." for Pan AM, and I even had his Captain's wings and one of his suits. I heard so many great stories from him.

The second of two Pan American videos I've watched this evening on TH-cam. Both of these videos are historically very important as both relate to Pan American Airlines' contributions to civil aviation prior to and during World War II. In this video, we learn that in December 1941 Pan Am had a pre-arranged code (to transmit by radio to their aircraft in flight) to warn pilots and aircrews of the outbreak of the Second World War. I found this extremely important information, so thank you very much for posting this! Andy McKane, 23 September 2022, P.O. Box 166, Maunaloa, Hawaii 96770.

Imagine having a full on dining room experience with waiters on your plane flight.

What they always conveniently left out of these propaganda films about the "patriotism" of U.S. corporations is the insane amount of money they made from the war. It's not like Pan Am was doing any of this at their own expense.

LOL do you really think this is a real airplane? Its a mockup on a movie set.

Just amazing. No drama, just get the job done. The greatest generation.

So many stories lost

Excellent documentary! Thank you for this priceless upload!

...and then a bunch of suits ran it into the ground.

I worked for the Pan Am shuttle at DC National Airport, then Eastern Shuttle, finally, Trump shuttle to NYC and back. My mom worked for PanAm when she was transferred to La Paz Bolivia back then. Great airline, great people. Note that it was a Pan Am passanger space plane in the film 2001: A Space Oddyssey.

Pan Am built the first international airport in my neighborhood of Coconut Grove. They flew amphibious planes to the Bahamas, Cuba and all the Caribbean Islands. As landed in water bc everywhere they wanted to fly to had plenty of water and concrete runways were not invented yet. After Pan Am moved to the Miami International airport, the Coast Guard moved in and still used Grumman Amphibious planes called Gooses.

When was this film made?

This is so American that's makes me Ill

Truth be known, Chalks International Airlines was the first overseas Airlines, first flight was 1916 from Miami to Bimini & Cat Key & back to Miami. I was a Captian flying a G21 Goose for Chalks in 1969/70, some of my passenger's were Leister Hemingway, Cliff Robertson & others.

Wow, that was totally amazing to watch. I adore my years of flying but wish I could have done this, aboard a clipper, noise at all. Wonderful stuff.

Thank you for very important and historic information abaut of the femous Clipers whit Martin fly boat. Edgar Ayala . Quito-Ecuador

My dad was a courtermastrr in Africa for Pan Am before the army took it over .

No doubt Pan Am is owed a debt of gratitude for what they provided to America during the war. They also held exclusive contracts for transport. They were a pioneer of world travel and opened up routes on all continents. I was sad to see them go under. Maybe for old times sake. There could have been a bailout for them by way of government transportation contracts such as for the military. They did help us win the war...

God's love ❤️ always beautiful and liberate

Donald Trump 2024!!!!

Absolutely fantastic!

Sad that PAA🇺🇸 is no longer flying.

I wonder if we have forgotten how important the sea planes were. They can still go where other planes cannot.

I grew up as a pan American brat in the 50s/60s,I will never understand how this country let pan American go out of business! shame on us!

Did the US have the same man narrating every single program throughout the 50’s??

It's a beautiful airplane.

Wow Coffee and walnuts ! sounds like todays airlines .

Hearing about V-mail for the first time !

Thank you, Pan Am and all the people that had the courage to go the extra mile for freedom. I stumbled on this site just to check out that beautiful Clipper info. Thank you to the producers for sharing our history. Awesome.

This is some apart of our world. I am glad I have been a Flight Attendant in our country.

Great propaganda 🤣😂.

my grandfathers cousin,joe sheridan served irish coffee to the clipper passengers at foynes airbase in western ireland

Ooo! Farming with chemicals! Sign me up!

Those were the days of flying. I have the pleasure to have a Bamboo Fly Rod that had been owned by China Clipper Pilot.

Woah! Bonanza!

The Doolittle Raiders were already in the service prior to the war, I do not believe any were trained by PanAm prior to the raid...

Just wondering if some B17s, B24s and B29s became fliers for Pan Am?

Those were the days, my friends . . . . . . 🐣

I'm going to book a ticket on Pan Am right now, by golly!
