QUEEN OF THE CUPPERS
Here is the new Douglas sky giant, DC-7, a 108-passenger transport, carrying a crew of 13, at better than 300 miles per hour. Contracts for 26 of the huge substratosphere Clippers, at a cost of $40,000,000, were signed several weeks ago by Pan American World Airways.
The range of the sky giant is 5,000 miles; its wing spread equals the height of a 16-story building. Inside the wings are interior passageways for servicing and repairing engines in flight. Pressurized cabins will provide comfortable travel at 20,000 feet. They will be powered by four Pratt & Whitney engines of even greater displacement than the 2100-horsepower Double Wasps.
The new Clippers will have two spacious cabins, modern galley, dressing rooms, cargo compartment, flight deck and compartment for pilots. There will also be large storage compartments for food, electrically operated stoves and refrigerators.
Pan American will operate the new planes directly to Latin America from New York, as well as from Miami, New Orleans and Los Angeles and possibly other long-distance services.
Navy Cancels Atlantic Division Contract
The contract between the Atlantic Division and the U. S. Navy will be terminated as of December 31, 1944.
The termination was made, the Navy said, because it "foresees a reduction in its demands for air transportation to the European theatre of war."
In announcing the severing of their military relations, Division Manager John C. Leslie told LaGuardia Field employes that “any layoffs will be gradual."
15-YEAR PIN-UP GIRL
Another shining star for Dena Stanley, secretary to Capt. Goodwyn, Operations Manager. It all adds up to three gold stars and a fifteen-year pin, making her No. 1 woman in the Sector to be presented with this award. Starting her career with Pan American in Miami, Dena came to the Alaska Sector in December 1941. Recognized as the best-groomed and most meticulous bit of feminity on the Seattle base, her example as well as her service record is something to live up to.
Three-year pins this November will go to Robert L. Linquist, John C. McDonald, “Speed” Deutsch and Fred Tintinger.
