5.0 out of 5 stars passing of a jet age icon, December 1, 2001

This review is from: Pan Am: An Airline and it's Aircraft (Hardcover)

Pan Am was an American icon. In a short span, Juan Trippe established the inter-American air system and most of the airline's of Latin America. The acquisition of landing rights, mail contracts, aircraft, navigational aids, landing fields, not to mention the backing of moneyed friends--Juan Trippe had it all, or made sure he got it.
The book is organized around the various aircraft and route systems of Pan American. The aircraft drawings and photographs are oustanding, and the book is beautiful in its white slip cover.

This review is from: Pan Am: An Airline and Its Aircraft (Hardcover)

This book covers all the aircraft that served Pan Am down through the decades, from tri-motors to jumbo jets (and the Clippers, of course !!!) It also talks about the various smaller airlines that PAA absorbed in it's rise to the peak of it's profession. Illustrated with many fine photographs and full color drawings of these planes,as well as their specifications,this is a fine addition to any airline book collection. Thanks, and may The Lord bless and guide you.
