Pan Am Observes 36th Anniversary
Then
Fokker F-7 Cruised At 85 Miles Per Hour
October 28, 1927
You couldn’t exactly call it a Perfect 36.
There have been too many complications, headaches and “impossible” tasks for Pan American’s men and women to perform since the airline’s first fabric-and-bal-ing-wire Fokker F-7 struggled into the air off a Key West mudflat on October 28, 1927 — the beginning of President Juan T. Trippe’s magnificent dream.
But you can blasted well call it a Progressive 36 years. The ori-
ginal band of air pioneers—many of them still with Pan Am, and a steady stream of reinforcements, built a 90-mile Key West-Havana route into today’s world’s greatest international airline.
In Latin America, they rewrote history and revamped geography and in general have done things on land, sea and in the air that nobody had ever done before.
It is highly probable that if those Pan Am pioneers had known then what they know now,
they would have looked farther afield for more placid careers, like lion taming, deep-sea diving or barreling over Niagara Falls.
But they persisted. Today, Pan American’s original 90-mile route has grown to 70,000 miles of routes around the world. Its one 8-passenger, 85-miles-an-hour plane has multiplied into a fleet of 123 jet and piston engine Clippers, flying up to 186 passengers at 600 miles an hour.

Traffic Sets New Record For September
Cargo Increase Up 12 per cent for 9 Months Period
Continuing the record traffic growth it has maintained throughout 1962, Pan American Airways recorded increased revenue passenger miles in Latin America and on both the Atlantic and Pacific during September.
The transatlantic increase was 16 per cent and the transpacific 17 per cent. Throughout its worldwide system, Pan Am flew 674,600,000 revenue passenger miles during September, a 12.3 per cent increase.
For the first nine months of 1963, Pan Am flew as many revenue passenger miles as it had during all of 1961.
LAD Up Four Per Cent
In the Latin American Division, the airline recorded 1,570,000,000 revenue passenger miles during the first nine months of this year, a four per cent increase over the same period in 1962.
Pan Am also showed an increase for September of 20 per cent in cargo carried across the Atlantic and a 16 per cent gain for Pacific cargo, compared to September in 1962. For the first nine months of the year, commercial cargo for all Pan Am sectors is up 12.6 per cent.
October Traffic Up
Pan Am flew 317,600,000 revenue passenger miles during September to carry 57,214 passengers on its Atlantic services and 186,200,000 revenue passenger miles to carry 42,293 passengers on its tanspacific services.
During the first week of October, Pan Am’s flights to Europe showed a 52 per cent increase in passengers over the same week in 1962 and advance bookings indicate heavy traffic for the remainder of the year.
Trippe’s Vision, Leadership Cited
President Juan Trippe’s leadership and vision as chief executive of Pan American was cited as an outstanding example before several thousands delegates at the recently concluded International Management Congress in New York.
In a speech on the duties of a chief executive of a major corporation, Ralph J. Cordiner, chairman of the board of General Electric, said: “For example Pan American World Airways would not be the great airline it is today if Juan Trippe had not, as much as 30 years ago, had a vision of commercial airlines circling the globe. Following this vision, when the idea seemed technically impossible, he pioneered the way for United States leadership in international travel.”
PAN AM'S CORPORATE GIFT to the United Fund, a check for $7,500, was presented to William C. Lantaff, center, of the UF Board of Trustees, by LAD Manager William F. Raven, second from right. Others in the picture are, left, Miss Judy Evans, Pan Am stewardess and the airline's "Miss Torch," William Grogan, labor leader, and Edison Coulter, cargo employe and a typical solicitor for the in-plant United Fund drive.
Pan Am Flies TV Parts to Jamaica
The new nation of Jamaica is celebrating the first anniversary of its independence with regular television service, thanks to a 250,000-pound airlift of equipment by Pan American.
When the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation scheduled opening of the station by August 6, 1963, to mark the actual first anniversary, it had to rely not only on fast footwork on its own part but upon the fastest possible delivery of station equipment, receivers, antennas and spare parts.
The JBC had seven months in which to choose, import and install equipment, test transmitter locations and train technicians, producers and announcers. With the airlift it was able to go into operation on schedule and now transmits daily between 6 and 10 p.m. on three channels.
SADDLES FROM PAMPAS
Members of the horsey set in the United States are being treated to saddles from the pampas of Argentina, thanks to Pan American Jet Clippers. Four shipments totaling 5,940 pounds of finely tooled saddles—560 of them altogether— have been shipped to New York from Buenos Aires.
declared in a progress report to the 36th anniversary program of the Miami Pan Am Management Club at PARC.
Introduction of large - capacity, high-efficiency jetliners on LAD routes plus a strict expense control program has succeeded in reversing the downward trend of the Division’s net revenues, Raven said.
Profit in 1962
This resulted in a small profit for the division in 1962, and management hopes that if the present trend continues, more substantial net revenues will be racked up in 1964 and 1965.
Raven pointed out that LAD has expanded at a phenomenal rate over the past 35 years, although “operating results have not kept pace, particularly since the loss of subsidy in 1957.”
The number of LAD employes has increased from 40 in 1927 to 6,509 today, revenue passenger miles from one-half million to 2 billion. Today, he added, LAD roughly parallels the United States’ sixth largest trunk carrier, National Airlines, in volume of activities.
“That is,” Raven added, wryly, “we are roughly parallel them ex-CONTINUED ON PAGE 7
Merger Plan Is Abandoned
The merger agreement between Pan American and Trans World Airways, entered into by the airlines on December 20, 1962, has been terminated by mutual consent.
In a joint statement, President Juan T. Trippe, of Pan Am, and Charles C. Tillinghast, of TWA, said the timetable for necessary approvals including those of the Federal Government, had not progressed to the point where they could look forward to consummation of the merger within a reasonable time.
Among other things, problems as to how to deal with unresolved issues as to the liability of Hughes Tool Company, resulting from the default judgement in litigation pending in New York, have prevented the two companies from submitting the proposed merger to their shareholders.
When the question of Hughes Tool Company’s liability has been resolved the directors and stockholders of the two companies will be free to reconsider the merger if it should appear useful to do so at the time. In the meantime it is felt that the interest of both companies would best be served by termination of the merger agreement.
Peru Peace Corps Students Go Home
After training in the U.S. Peace Corps School in San Juan, Puerto Rico, 25 young Peruvians are returning to their homeland to launch a program of helping their own people.
The group arrived in Miami on a Pan Am Jet Clipper and were met by a representative of the U.S. Peace Corps, then depart for Lima.
Speaks at Management Club
Raven Sees Favorable Trend In Latin American Division
Despite a number of difficulties ahead, Pan American’s Latin American Division anticipates “a favorable trend” in operations over the next two or three years.
“Let us hope outside influences beyond our control do not
-f upset our favorable forecast,” Division Manager William F. Raven
UF Campaign Gets Away to Flying Start
Company Launches Solicitation With Gift for $7,500
Preliminary tabulation of pledges by Pan Am employes to the Dade County United Fund indicate the goal of $77,603, or five per cent more than was contributed last year, will be reached when all cards are turned in.
With $65,142 already subscribed by slightly more than 60 per cent of Miami employes, the goal is within sight.
Corporate Check to UF
The in-plant drive, conducted October 16, 17 and 18, got away to a flying start when LAD Manager William F. Raven, general chairman of Pan American’s United Fund committee, presented a corporate check for $7,500 to William TC. Lantaff, of the UF Board of Trustees, at a kick-off luncheon at the Panair Recreation Club.
The luncheon brought together Pan Am solicitors, company and United Fund officials and Union leaders for a rally launching the in-plant campaign.
Aids 40 Agencies
The United Fund helps support 40 health, welfare and character building agencies throughout Dade County. Wilbur L. Morrison, executive vice president in charge of the Latin American Division, is a member of the UF Board of Trustees and chairman of the Transportation Division of the UF for the campaign. He is assisted by Justin Havee.
No other solicitation of funds will be conducted at Pan American facilities during the year.
Ten Groups Worked
Ten groups conducted the fast-moving drive. Group chairman and their alternates were: James H. Tullis, Airline Pilots Association; Jack Brauchand and Robert Mum-ma, Brotherhood of Railway Clerks; Carl V. Fisher and Robert Batting, Transport Workers Union; John Landrove and Horacio Rua, Flight Service; William Lane and James Stewart, District Sales Office; Duval Inge and Ted Taylor, International Brotherhood of Teamsters; Robert W. Payne, Flight Engineers International Association; A. W. (Army) Droz and William F. Gracy, Management; Arthur D. Whittington, Credit Union; Ray Munoz, Flight Dispatchers.
The United Fund goal this year is $3,008,838, a 7 per cent increase over the $2,907,090 goal of last year.
Drawings for prizes for solicitors and employes will be conducted after complete returns from the in-plant campaign are tabulated.
