"Pan American World Airways - Aviation History through the Words of
its People is a tribute to the legacy of one of the world's great
airlines and the men and women who for six decades were the soul of
the Company. James Baldwin and Jeff Kriendler have created a
compelling book, which through the words of its contributors,
captures much of the joy, adventure and spirit which was Pan Am. -
Edward S. Trippe, Chairman, Pan Am Historical Foundation "Fathered
by the legendary Juan Trippe, Pan American was the leader in
international aviation exploration and development. A relentless
risk-taker, Trippe was an innovator and ultimate entrepreneur...and
this book captures many of Pan Am's most memorable events from
personal accounts of the employees who were there." - Sir Richard
Branson, Chairman Virgin Group "Once upon a time, not so long
ago... flying on Pan American Airways was every bit as exciting as
your destination. We miss your style Pan Am " - Erik Lindbergh,
Founder, Lindbergh Electric Aircraft Prize (LEAP), and Grandson,
Charles Lindbergh "Pan Am...Queen of the Skies and pioneer around
the world...shrunk the globe through innovation, and daring and
glamorous service in its day. This anthology takes the reader into
a coveted position, learning from the people who actually
experienced the major milestones in its rise....and fall." - Tony
Fernandes, CEO, AirAsia Berhad and Founder, Tune Group "For anyone
who has ever traveled, this book is a must. Filled with untold
eye-witness accounts of some of the major events that helped shape
PanAm, this fascinating anthology helps kindle the magic of fl ight
and ensures PanAm's deserved legacy in the annals of commercial
aviation." - Jerry Hendin, Managing Partner, Alliance Public
Relations, and Former VP, Communications, Boeing Commercial
Airplane Group "Pan Am, perhaps the greatest airline in the history
of the world, lives now only as memories, and those memories have
never been collected and shared as well as they are in this book."
- Ted Reed, Airlines Reporter, The Street, and formerly of the
Miami Herald "This unique anthology approach rings true because it
comes from the hearts and souls of the employees, those who built
Pan Am to its iconic leadership position in international travel.
Whether it was ushering in the jet age and later the Jumbo jet era,
building luxurious hotels for high-end travelers, or fl ying troops
to global military theaters, Pan Am was a proud symbol of America
at home and overseas." - David Neeleman, Founder, Jetblue Airways
and Founder, Chairman, and CEO, Azul Brazilian Airlines
