Upon his return he became publicity director for Luna Park, Coney Island, and later did promotion work for the Hearst newspapers.
Entering the field of aviation public relations in 1927, Mr. Hedberg was employed by the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce with headquarters in New York. He next served as advertising and publicity manager of the Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Company in Hartford and later was transferred to the New York office where he handled publicity for the United Aircraft Corporation.

MIAMI AND PANAMA LINKED BY CLIPPER
Daily Clipper service between Miami and Panama is the newest addition to routes now being flown by PAA’s Latin American division. A DC-4 has been assigned for the daily round trip from Miami to Balboa, with a stop at Kingston, Jamaica.
Captain Basil L. Rowe, PAA veteran of more than 25,000 hours aloft, was at the controls for the inaugural passenger flight along this new route on March 13. Captain Edwin C. Perry flew as first officer, with Val Guertin as flight radio officer, George W. Keith as steward, and Bobby Hains as stewardess.
As soon as new schedules are approved, flights will be established between New Orleans and Panama by way of Merida, Guate-ffiala, and Managua.
A total of 28 new DC-4’s are being added to PAA’s Latin American fleet this spring. One is already making daily non-stop flights between Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
