5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Collection, January 19, 1998
This book is one of the finest collections on information regarding Pan-Am's famous flying boats. Loaded with old photos, classic ads, maps and much more, this book details the building of the reknown yet short lived Pacific air route. I read it from cover to cover in two days and enjoyed every page of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent but incomplete history of Pan American's Clippers, May 3, 1998
By A Customer
Cohen's book is among the better works to document the short but exciting history of Pan American's pacific clipper operations, providing insight into the pilots and aircraft that flew it and the route they took. My few complaints were with the relative dirth of information following the outbreak of World War II, some speculative accounts which have been correctly described in other books, and a lack of color photos. Still, for the price it is a most valuable addition to anyone's aviation library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Historic Photo Collection of Pan Am's Clippers, July 16, 2002
By Jamie Dodson "Jamie Dodson" (Huntsville, Alabama, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Stan Cohen's book is a wonderful pictorial exploration of the commercial aviation conquest of the Pacific. I found the discussion of the North Haven Expedition and the Pacific Clipper base construction most interesting. Cohen shows pictures of their heyday and as the looked when he researched the book. Cohen also has some photos of the China Clipper I had not seen previously. If you are a Pan Am Clipper history buff - this is a must have book.
