He was the first American ambassador at tached to one of Europe’s warring nations to return since the war was declared.
BALTIMORE.— Completion of the first one hundred flights across the A tla n tic Ocean, carrying passengers and mail on regular schedules by Pan American Airways was marked December 20 with the arrival here of the American Clipper en route from Lisbon via the Azores and Bermuda. Under command of Captain Harold E. Gray, who conducted the original p io n eerin g survey flights across the Atlantic in 1937, the Clipper carried a complement of 18 passengers and nearly a ton of Christmas mails to the United States. Since service was inaugu rated last May 20, the 12th an niversary of Lindbergh’s flight, and within 24 hours of the air line’s receipt of authority from the Civil Aeronautics Author ity, more than 40 tons of mail and nearly 1,800 passengers have been carried across the ocean in the flying Clipper Ships. In reaching the 100 mark in their twice-weekly At lantic schedules, the big 41 %ton, 4-engined Clipper Ships— the Yankee Clivper, Dixie Clip per, Atlantic Clipper and Am erican Clipper — have flown nearly 400,000 plane miles, while passenger miles have totaled 5,500,000 and mail pound-miles totaled more than 300,000,000. Striking proof of the im portant part Pan American’s Atlantic air service is playing by providing the only regular means of transportation be tween the United States and Europe, under current inter national conditions, is indicated by the constantly increasing traffic loads which have been assigned the Clippers since hos tilities began in Europe on September 3, resulting in dis ruption of regular steamship service. Initially the Clippers were loaded to capacity with philatelic mail and “first flight” passengers, but Transatlantic traffic loads quickly dropped to the previously estimated levels for early service, with mail loads running 400 and 500
