Pan American Airlines

 

Pan American Airlines 1956. www.classicpicture.se Kristoffersson

The worlds most experienced Airline.

That is how the American airline Pan Am described itself at the peak of the company's era. Founded in 1927 Pan Am succeeded in becoming one of the largest airlines in the United States, and is still for many people an airline intimately associated with aviation and world-wide travelling by air.
The already classic movie Catch me if you can starring Leonardo DiCaprio and other earlier major parts of tv-series and movies has made Pan Am part of world history.

An editors memory of Pan Am. This editor remember being in the cockpit of a Pan Am Boeing 747 bound for New York. A scene that still is very visible if i close my eyes. I was a proud boy returning to my seat wearing the company's emblem on my shirt, given to me by the pilot.
In 1991 Pan Am was forced to file for bankruptcy and ceased operation on December 4 1991.
