During 1929, Pan Am opened links with Colombia and Venezuela and, by the end With the Sikorsky S-40 (above), Pan Am introduced the name ‘Clipper’ for its prestige planes. In line with the company’s image, the name suggested the fast sailing ships that plied ocean routes in the 19th century. The choice of name was a success – ‘Clipper’ subsequently became the company’s call sign and ‘Clipper Club’ was adopted as the name of the VIP rooms available at major airports served by Pan Am. 276 Build Douglas DC-3 Pan American – The company and the DC-3 This colourful poster of the year, with Peru; the following year it shows the huge range of extended its services to Argentina (Buenos destinations covered by Pan Am and the scope of leisure Aires), Chile and Brazil, in that case aviation in the interwar years.

The pilots’ abilities were particularly put to the test on Pan Am’s longer routes and the potentially dangerous intercontinental flights. The selection of cabin crew was equally rigid. The minimum age of a Pan Am air hostess was 21, the maximum was 32. The candidates were selected for their ‘good looks and poise’ and – until the 1970s – had to be unmarried with no children, and not divorced.

    A YEN FOR THE DOLLAR: Airlines and the Transformation of US-Japanese Tourism, 1947-1 977 Douglas Karsner Department of History Bloomsburg University This article examines the transformation of transpacific tourism between the United States and Japan from 1947 to 1977, focusing on the key role that Pan American World Airways, Northwest Orient Airlines, and Japan Airlines played in this development. In the late 1940s, travel was mostly by a small upper class leisure market cruising on ships. Linkages between the air carriers and other factors, including governmental policy, travel organizations, and changes in business and culture influenced the industry. By the 1970s, these elements had reshaped the nature and geography of tourism, into a mass airline tourist market characterized by package tours, special interest trips, and consumer values. Between 1947 and 1977, several factors helped transform the nature of transpacific tourism between the United States and Japan. Pan American Airways, Northwest Airlines, and Japan Airlines played crucial roles in this development. These airline companies employed various marketing strategies, worked with travel associations, tapped into expanding consumer values, and pressured governments. Simultaneously, decisions made by tourist organizations, consumers, and especially governments also shaped this process. The evolution of transpacific tourism occurred in three stages, growing slowly from 1947 to 1954, accelerating in the period to 1964, and finally developing into a mass leisure market by the 1970s.’ When the US State Department officially permitted Pan American Airways and Northwest Airlines to start offering regularly scheduled service to Japan in August 1947, few American tourists wanted to make the journey. This was largely because they would have had to obtain a passport from the State Department and a certificate from the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Bogash (www.rbogash.com/B314.html) In the world of man-made objects, be they antique cars, historic locomotives, steamships, religious symbols, or, in this case - beautiful airplanes, certain creations stand out. Whether due to perceived beauty, historical importance, or imagined romance, these products of man’s mind and hands have achieved a status above and beyond their peers. For me, the Lockheed Super Constellation is one such object. So is the Boeing 314 Flying Boat the Clipper, (when flown by Pan American Airways) - an Icon in the purest sense of the word. The B-314 was the largest, most luxurious, longest ranged commercial flying boat - built for, and operated by Pan Am. It literally spanned the world, crossing oceans and continents in a style still impressive today. From the late 1930’s through the Second World War, these sky giants set standard unequalled to this day. Arriving from San Francisco at her namesake city, the Honolulu Clipper disembarks her happy travelers at the Pearl City terminal. The 2400 mile trip generally took between 16 and 20 hours depending upon winds.
