I beleive you should review the PanAm.org website one more time. The history of Pan American Airways is inextricably linked to the expansive vision and singular effort of one man - Juan Trippe. He was one of the great leaders of the American airline industry for forty years and his inovations lead to the first commercial air service across the Pacific to Asia and South Pacific in 1935, and the Atlantic in the 1939. He was the first airline CEO to order airplanes to specific specifications; the Sikorsky-42 (1931), the Martin 130 (China Clipper) (1933)the Boeing 314 (1936). Pan Am was the first, through his leadership, to introduce commercial jet service to Americans (1958); the Boeing 707 and DC 8. Boeing built the B-747 (1969) on Juan Trippe's request and hand shake. Pan Am purchased the first 33 B-747 aircraft and eventually a fleet of over sixty. Today, the worlds airlines industry has benefited from many ideas and inovations Juan Trippe incorporated into Pan Am (Air to ground radio communication for one). I could go on and on about Juan Trippe and his visionary ideas but I think you realize by now your comments were out of place and incorrect.
