WAKE. GUAM. MANILA After nearly four years to the day, the first PAA Clipper to depart San Francisco for Manila left the base shortly after 1 p. m. Saturday, December the eighth. The old pioneering spirit was there, and seventeen men, mostly old-timers with the Company climbed aboard to survey the route to Manila. Eleven of these men are to stop off for work at the new bases. Station Manager, (Midway) W. W. Mitchell, was picked The Stratocruiser Here is an overhead shot of the Boeing Stratocruiser, PAA’s latest plane order. Twenty of these big brothers of the B-29, currently being manufactued in Seattle, are due on the Panam horizon by November 1, 1946. The plane can be operated as a high-speed (cruise, 340 m.p.h.) low-fare day coach of the air, carrying 100 passengers. This doubledecked plane will have pressurized cabins ensuring 8,000 foot altitude conditions up to 30,000 feet. The largest engines ever built—3500 h. p. will give the plane a top speed of 400 m.p.h. Sleeping accommodations on the Stratocruiser Clipper will be good—and two to a bed if you wish. Posing for the above shot are three Alaskalovlies. AIR CRUISE LEAVES L. A. JAN. 8 FOR LATIN AMERICA That the Air Age is here is seen in the announcement of the first postwar escorted overseas air cruise by the American Express Co.

Using Pan American Clippers, the passengers and the cruise conductor will first visit Mexico and Guatemala, then fly down the west coast of South America. up at Honolulu for the flight to that station. PRESIDENT TRIPPE ASKS VICTORY BOND SUPPORT J. T. Trippe, president of Pan American World Airways, issued this Victory loan statement recently: “Victory is here, but there is still a war to be fought on the home front, a war against depression, discomfort and despair. The war must be fought with dollars. Funds are needed to bring our fighters home, for mustering out pay, for rehabilitation. “We owe our veterans a complete victory, a victory that can be brought with Victory bonds.” 70% OF DOMESTIC AIRLINE SPACE ALLOCATED SERVICE PERSONNEL Under General Order ODT 58, effective December 3, airlines operating from the West Coast were required to allot 70 per cent of their space to Army and Navy personnel returning from the Pacific. This order affects airlines operating east from Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego to the cities of Boston, New York, Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk, or Jacksonville. The flight, which will follow the PAA route established in 1935 to the Orient, includes Honolulu, Midway, Wake Island, Guam and Manila as ports of call. This route was .chosen by the Company in 1935 after negotiations with the Soviet Government over flying the great circle route to the Orient fell through. Skipper of the flight is Captain J. L, Fleming. Flight men accompanying the flight are E. E. Barnett, A1 Francis, E. A. Meyring, G. F. Maxwell, G. B. Blackmore, J. D. Poindexter and Operations Manager H. F. Kristofferson. The survey flight marks the opening of commercial cargo service to Manila. The DC-4 used for the trip is NX licensed, which certification grants the carrying of express and cargo in addition to PAA personnel. The plane is scheduled to return at 7:30 a. m. December 21. PANAM DOMESTIC ROUTES HEARING DATE SET Hearing on Pan American World Airways’ application for U. S. domestic routes (Docket 1803) has been set for April 1, 1946. This is the plane Pan American personnel have waited almost four years to the day to see—the first commercial landplane flight to leave San Francisco. The newly painted DC-4 Clipper got away from the San Francisco base shortly after 1 p. m. December 8 to start the survey of the air route to the Philippines. It is flying the old route pioneered by Pan American in 1935-—Honolulu, Midway, Wake, Guam and Manila. It is anticipated that the plane will return December 21st.
