This book is a chronology of Pan American firsts and historic events from day one to the end, and is divided into six sections representing key eras of the life of Pan American: (1) Beginnings (1927-1939); (2) The War Years (1940-1945); (3) The Piston Era (1946-1957); (4) The Jet Age (1958-1969); (5) Top of the World - Boeing 747 (1970-1979); and (6) End of an American Icon (1980-1991).

The firsts and significant events are listed at the beginning of each section followed by illustrations from that era, including covers of annual reports, covers of time tables (along with a page of round-the-world flight schedules and a route map), baggage strap tags, safety information cards and pictures of aircraft. Some images are of items never before illustrated, many of which are rare or no long exist.

 

Some Reviews:


“…a carefully constructed timeline of Pan Am's incredible record of firsts and aviation achievements… chock full of rare and nostalgic collector's memorabilia… a veritable time capsule into which any reader may be gently transported...back to a time when flying was gracious, glamorous and eagerly anticipated by passengers and crew alike!”

- Susanne (Strickland) Malm, Flight Attendant, JFK, 1968-1978


“With Pan American World Airways — Images of a Great Airline, author Jamie Baldwin has given us a treasure trove of Pan Am lore. Here is something for everyone — a concise history of the pioneering airline, a rich potpourri of Pan Am memorabilia, and, best of all, a nostalgic journey back to an age when the mighty Pan American ruled the skies.”

- Robert Gandt, Pan Am pilot 1965-1991, author of Skygods: The Fall of Pan Am and China Clipper
