#Onthisday in 1939, Pan American Airways established the first regular air mail service across the Atlantic. Passenger service followed a month later. The trip took around 36 hours of flying time for a complete total of 51 total hours with layovers. #avgeek

Long layover? Come read a book (like this fascinating autobiography by Jacqueline Auriol) at our Aviation Mu http://t.co/T2Lawew6

Pan American World Airways and Qantas Airways favored the Boeing 707 jetliner for long-range international routes. These airliners did not need to stop as frequently and layovers in New Caledonia and Canton Island were no longer required. #AirmailDownUnder #AvGeek

To create #PanAm’s transpacific layovers, #onthisday in 1935, the North Haven set sail, carefully loaded in sequence with 2 pre-fab villages, 5 air bases, 250,000 gallons of fuel, barges, tractors, generators, and 50 ft timbers to build radio towers. #ChinaClipper #MuseumFromHome
