The author started his aviation journey on March 11, 1943 when Pan American airways hired him as an apprentice Flight Engineer. From the China Clipper to the Jumbo 747 it was a wonderful forty-year trip. I hope you will find some of the stories interesting and enlightening.To the thousands of former Pan American employees the memories of those glory years lingers on. I hope my accounts of the airplanes, the people, the places, and the airline will brighten those recollections.
