Thanks to a world war and circumstance, the Pacific Clipper had to take the long way home…

I thought that there had been another thread on this a few years ago but I can't find it on search. Anyway, here's some more info on this story which is incredible:

Saga of the Pacific Clipper (panam.org)

And a book on it if you're really interested:

If y'all have Amazon, I watched Across the Pacific and it was done very well.

It was a 3 part series on Pan Am and the Clippers.

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.
