As explained by Jane Euler and Anne Sweeney below, watching this BBC documentary takes an hour. I think you will not agree with everything in it because it is so much the expressions of individuals---but, if you take the time to watch, you will find it very, very good.
For those who are not technologically inclined, after you click on the underlined words (way down the screen below the messages from Jane and Anne-- the link begins with http:// ), you will find a very busy screen. Click on the right-pointing arrow at the bottom of the screen to start the show rolling. You must sit through a short advertisement before the documentary starts. You should also click on the box (four arrows pointing outward) that expands the picture to "full screen." After the documentary is over, you get out of the full screen mode by clicking the ESC (escape) key on your keyboard.
You need to have an hour, but watching is worth the effort.

Pan Am Clipper Dec 1935
My Mother said forward this. Of interest to me is the announcement of the pending delivery of the Hawaiian Clipper scheduled for February 1936.
My Father was on the crew sent to Baltimore to pick it up and met my Mother who was working for Martin. The river iced up and the plane could not be delivered. Finally Pan Am recalled the crew and my Dad was sent to Oakland. He called my Mother from Oakland and asked her to marry him. She accepted and boarded a train to her marriage.
The second page recalls the promotion of my Father to Junior Pilot "having completed the two day oral and written examinations" with a list of courses taken and licenses received.

Watch for a report in the next issue of the Clipper Pioneers newsletter!
Those who read the story of the Doolittle Raid that you recently posted might be interested in the attached PowerPoint file of pictures that was just sent me by a friend. Keep up the good work, the Clipper has become a great read for we 93 year olds who no longer get to reunions.
Best Luck... Lee Nelson

This is an incredible collection of photos on Pan Am's history. It was forwarded by an ex employee, Arthur Rindner who now lives in Israel. I think these are some of the best Pan Am photos I have ever seen.
Enjoy..............................Tony
Definitely, this is the best collection. Hope you all enjoy. Thanks Tony and Trudy for sending these. And also to Arthur who has definitely shown how deep his heart is still with Pan Am. Vickie
