IT WAS A CASE OF SH-HHH-HH UNTIL THOSE B-36'S WENT SW-W-WISH
Indicative of the pre-flight secrecy that shrouded the flight of two Air Force B-36’s from Tokyo to Maine last week is the picture of the three PAD men who participated in the flight taken after their return to San Francisco. Will Brown spoke no word, Sid Serebreny heard no word and Ben Lorenz saw no word until after the bombers landed at Limestone Air Force Base.

Ho-Hum-Jet Stream Mark Continues to Drop
Tokyo Meteorologists Rate A Sound Pat on Their Isobars
The CLIPPER carried a bit of stale news in the last issue. A story appeared reporting another new Tokyo-Honolulu non-stop record of 9 hours and 41 minutes.
But between the CLIPPER deadline date and publication date this mark was shattered twice—on January 30th by Captain Bill de Lima in 9 hours and 36 minutes, and on January 31st by Captain “Andy” Anderson in 9 hours and 25 minutes.
This latter record stood for one whole week until February 7th, when Captain ]ohn Kelly negotiated the distance in just 9 hours and 18 minutes—a mark that still stands at press time.
This last record was the fifth time that the mark had been lowered during the 1953-54 jet stream season. Captains Dick Campbell and Dent Terrell were the previous smashers.
Unsung heroes of this operation are the PAA meteorologists stationed in Tokyo. They have consistently made forecasts for the 3,870 mile route that have been within a few minutes of the actual flight time.
These “men behind the jet stream’’ without whose efforts the operation of the world’s longest scheduled airline hop would not be possible are Russ Ulrich, Boh Vasek, Russ Jackson, Ed Payette, Frank Anderson and Delbert Peterson.
Hong Kong Celebrates A Century of Progress
Hong Kong joined a select group of PAD stations recently when it experienced its 100th consecutive station on-time departure.
Pan American had a helping hand in last week’s 8,700 mile flight of two U. S. Air Force B-36’s from Tokyo to Limestone Air Force Base, Maine.
On hoard the two intercontinental bombers were PAD Second Officers Ben Lorenze, pilot in charge of navigation, and Will Brown, his assistant. The pair, who set up the navigation procedures that are used by PAD crews flying the jet stream, were invited by the Air Force to make the flight as observers.
Directing the entire operation on the ground at Strategic Air Com-
mand Headquarters in Nebraska was Sid Serebreny, technical assistant in the PAD Meteorology department. Sid was in Nebraska several days before the flight, analyzing reports to determine the most opportune time for the takeoff from Japan.
His selection for this job by the Air Force is just another compliment to be added to those he has already received for his research in the jet stream.
The flight—which took just over 28 hours—was strictly in the nature (Continued on Page 4)
it's the Same Service With a Brand New Name
"Rainbow" Service is the New Designation for Tourist Flites
Don’t say tourist. Say “Rainbow.”
From now' on tourist service in the Pacific-Alaska Division on B-377’s and DC-6B’s will be referred to as “Rainbow” service. Just as the name “President” has been used to designate our first-class service, so will the name “Rainbow” become a synonym for PAA’s economical tourist service.
It’s very often true that whenever a new term is applied to a service misunderstandings will arise as to just what the name means. For that reason phrases such as “low-cost Rainbow tourist service” will be used until the traveling public becomes accustomed to the term.
Incidentally, the word “Rainbow” has been in use in the Atlantic Division for some time to designate PAA’s tourist flights.
(As one unnamed philosopher pointed out, “they probably call it that because the fares are so low you’ll have a pot of gold left at the end of your Rainbow flight”).
When PAA inaugurates round-the-world tourist service this April the passenger can save over $600 compared to the first-class fare.
Department of Dull Thuds Or "Who Put the Basement In that TWA Constellation"
(The following item was lifted from the TWA “Skyliner”):
The traditional little old lady wandered into the San Francisco ticket office recently to compliment TWA. Seems she’d gone to Europe on PAA and returned on TWA.
“I tell EVERYBODY to travel TWA now. TWA’s the only way to go. What sold me was your beautiful double-decked airplanes.”
