Trust the
Brits to be the first!
Britain still
has the know how! I wonder how long it will be before China and Russia steal
the secret.

Long Way Home -- The Pacific Clipper of WWII
GREAT
STORY. I HAD NEVER HEARD THIS ONE.
The Long Way Home --The Pacific Clipper of WWII
A civilian airliner, cut off from home by the
outbreak of World War II, makes a dash for freedom...
December 7, 1941. The Pacific Clipper, Queen of Pan American Airways fleet of flying boats is 6 days out of San Francisco, bound for Auckland, New Zealand. Captain Robert Ford receives a coded message: Japanese attack Pearl Harbor...Implement War Plan A...Proceed to Auckland, NZ...Maintain radio silence...Wait for instructions...Your aircraft is a strategic resource-it must not fall into enemy hands under any circumstances
Pan American Airways bases all across the Pacific were captured. Returning to the US west coast by the Pacific Clipper did not seem possible. A week of waiting, then another coded message:
DEC 14, 1941: Do not return to Hawaii. Do not return to US west coast...Strip aircraft of all markings and identification...proceed west...maintain radio silence...deliver aircraft to Marine Terminal, LaGuardia, NY. Good luck.

Comments - Got this via a fellow retired DAL pilot. Quite a
tribute. Wonderful music also. The 75th anniversary of the Pan Am Clipper. Note
navigator.
