11th YEAR PACIFIC-ALASKÀ DIVISION
Pan American World Airways
PACIFIC-ALASKA DIVISION
WLfPPPR
18th Year Pan American World Airways
VOL. 3, No. 54.
PUBLISHED BY THE EMPLOYES OF PAN AMERICAN WORLD AIRWAYS
December 1, 1946
Passenger Back Log To Hawaii Cut Down
For the first time since Pearl Harbor, the “log jam” of travel between San Francisco and Honolulif has been broken.
However, the easing of the travel situation is temporary and probably will NOT extend for more than 10 days because of the heavy demand for Clipper travel during the Christmas holiday period.
The long waiting list of passengers was reduced by the addition of “extra flights” to the regular daily service.
The temporary easing of the travel situation does NOT apply to the Los Angeles-Honolulu Clipper service.
PAA Gives to Chest
PAA SUPPORTS COMMUNITY CHEST FUND DRIVE—Arthur Ayres, Southwest Regional manager, PAD, presents a check for $2,000 in behalf of Pan American World Airways, at Los Angeles. A. J. Gock (at right), General Campaign Chairman of the recent Chest fund drive, is receiving the check.
Cregan Changes Jobs
Harvey Cregan formerly of the Maintenance Department has transferred to Industrial Relations in order to assume duties and responsibilities as Chairman of the Suggestion Committee.
"Flying Fish" Make It Across Pacific
Several hundred fish FLEW the Pacific this week.
Swimming around in eight small metal tanks, the water in which was especially heated by chemicals, the fish, which consisted of several “aquarium” varieties, made the 2400-mile flight from San Francisco to Honolulu in the cargo hold of a Clipper. The fish had been sent all the way across the United States by air by a New York aquarium supply company and were consigned to a pet store in Honolulu.
But even the “flying” fish failed to surprise the men of the Air Express Office, who have grown used of late to operating in a sort of a Noah’s Ark atmosphere. In addition to the fish, recent trans-Pacific Clipper shipments have included 250 live turtles, six pedigreed pigeons and a consignment of fighting cocks.
Two Records Within A Week for Clipper
Within the space of five days the Clipper Golden West established two records over the Honolulu-L.A. run. On Thursday, November 18, with Captain S. E. Robbins in command the Golden West established a Honolulu to Los Angeles mark of nine hours. Five days later the same Clipper shaved four minutes off the nine hour tally, establishing a brand new score of eight hours, fifty-six minutes for the eastbound run. Her skipper this trip was Captain Kenneth V. Beer, a veteran of 17 years with PAA and former assistant chief pilot in charge of training. On both record flights 30 adults and one infant were passengers, and both marks were turned in at altitudes of 17,000 feet. In addition to Beer, other members of the crew were: 1st Officer, J. L. Kirtley; Navigator, H. I. Fahnestock; Jr. Pilot, C. P. Simpson; 1st Eng., C. L. Robinson; 2nd Eng., A. D. Caviness; 1st Radio, L. A. Daily; 2nd Radio, J. E. Welch; and stewardesses Wilson and Fitzgerald.
S. F. CHRISTMAS DANCE
Peninsula Country Club to Be Scene; Dick Reinhardt's Outfit To Furnish Music; Price Cheap
Pan American Has Exclusive Use of Swank Club From Nine Until One A. M. Friday, December 13
The setting is ideal, the orchestra is excellent, the entertainment will be outstanding, and on top of all this the price is reasonable. Mix all the latter with the spirit of the holiday season and it is easy to see why this year’s Christmas party slated for December 13 will top all previous Christmas dances. Here are the facts:
First, the setting. The beautiful and exclusive Peninsula Country Club (formerly Beresford) in the hills in back of San Mateo. There will be plenty of room for dancing as the spacious dining room, game room, and, in fact, the whole club will be Pan American’s exclusively between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. on the evening of Friday,
December 13.
Second, the orchestra. Dick Reinhart’s orchestra will be there. This is the gentleman who furished the music for the Club’s famous Menlo Circus Club dance last year. Those who remember this dance (Continued on Page 8)
PANAIR CLUB’S BIG MONTH
December is a big month for the Panair Club . . . the Christmas Dance, the kiddies’ Christmas party, and appearance of the newly formed Christmas Choral Group are slated. Be sure and read all about the Kids’ Party and the Choral Group on Page 7.
