There's a note about that flight on this website at: http://www.panamair.org/History/earlydays.htm
It says: Dec 7, 1941 The Pacific Clipper flew an ‘unplanned’ trip around the world. It flew 31,500 miles in 209 hours and made 18 stops through 12 different nations. This was the longest continuous flight by a commercial plane and was the first circumnavagation following a route near the equator, crossing it four times.
