This circa 1940 advertisement for Pan American Airways advertises their "regularly scheduled service to 55 countries." “Comfortably seated in a Pan American Clipper, you fly into tomorrow while it is today. You push back the horizon to the other side of the world. Pan American’s 65,000-mile aerial network links 55 lands and more than 250 colorful cities; brings them within hours of your doorstep. "Think what this means. To this vacationist who’s time is limited, it unfolds a whole new world. To the business man it opens up brand-new sales opportunities. And to the nation if brings reassurance that America’s leadership will be maintained on the skyways of the world." Did you ever fly on Pan Am? Where did you go? #TravelTuesday #PanAm #clipper Image: Pan American Airways advertisement, c. 1940, Gift of Barnaby Conrad III, 2001.038.164.097 This image was posted on February 07, 2017.
