George Towne of engineering drafting drew the plans for the installation of the new rotating red anti-collision lights that will be installed on PAA aircraft. He is shown here placing one of the lights in place atop the tail of a Strato Clipper.

Serebreny and Wiegman Cop ATA's Top Award
San Francisco Meteorologists Win $250 For Jet Stream Paper
Two Pan American meteorologists—Sid Serebreny and Eldon Wiegman—were notified last week that thy had received the first prize award in the Air Transport Association’s 1953 meteorological and dispatching research contest.
The award came to the two San Francisco based men for their paper on certain characteristic features of the jet stream and their application to airline operations.
This marked the second time that Sid has received first prize in an ATA contest, having won the 1951 award for another paper on the jet stream. And when he and Eldon won it also marked the first time that one airline had ever won the prize more than once.
In a letter to the PAA meteorologists Earl Johnson, ATA president wrote:
“You are to be commended on the quality of your paper and we sincerely hope that you will continue to contribute to the progress of the aviation industry by entries in ATA contests and otherwise.”
More than half the U. S. military planes and 80 percent of the world’s scheduled airliners were built in California.
FOUND A GOLD MINE IN THE SKY

Pan American’s Clippers are going to be more colorful than ever!
Maintenance at San Francisco will soon start work on installing the first of the new rotating red lights that will be put atop the vertical stabilizer of all B-377’s and DC-6B’s. These lights will provide an added safety precaution to PAA’s already-safe operation.
The mosi critical time for a pilot, as far as spotting another aircraft near his own, occurs at dusk and dawn. During these half-light-half dark hours an airplane’s running lights may be difficult to see. As well as eliminating this problem
the new lights will afford greater protection in terminal areas' when aircraft are operating under visual flight rules.
A small motor rotates mirrors inside the red glass case of the light that makes the light alternately visible ten degrees and forty degrees above and below the horizontal plane of the aircraft. These deflecting mirrors are in constant motion, revolving thru 360 degrees.
On a clear night these lights have been seen from as far away as 50 miles. Of course, their main advantage will be under condi-(Continued on Page 2)
PAA's First Quarter Performance Looks Good
Commercial Revenues More Than Those For Same Period in '53
Commercial revenues of Pan American for the first quarter of 1954 amounted to $36,937,000, an increase of 4.6 percent over the volume of business in the first quarter of last year. Operating expenses increased only two percent over the same period in 1953.
Both revenue ton-miles and revenue passenger-miles increased during the first quarter of this year.
During the year 1953 Pan American carried 28 percent of all SEA AND AIR passengers between the United States and foreign countries and overseas points.
Award-Winning Sid Serebreny To Be Heard on Local Radio
Sid Serebreny, San Francisco meteorologist who along with Eldon Wiegman has just been announced as a winner of an annual ATA award, will speak tomorrow to the Berkeley City Commons Club. His transcribed address can be heard tomorrow nite over radio station KRE at 9 p.m. and over station KROW this Sunday, June 13th, at 10 a.m.
HANDLING A VIP WITH GLOVES
World middleweight champion “Bobo” Olson departed San Francisco by Clipper last Sunday for Honolulu where he will engage in a non-title tune-up fight next week. Here Pubrel’s George Pot-torff (he’s the one in street clothes) gives the champ some advice on the best airline to fly.
