The film, China Clipper: Pan Am's Conquest Of The Pacific tells the compelling story of how Pan Am captured the air travel market in the Pacific Ocean region from 1929 up through World War II by using an array of different flying boats including Sikorsky's S-40, S-42 & VS-44A, Martin's M-130 and Boeing's Model-314.  "China Clipper: Pan Am's Conquest Of The Pacific" contains stunning and never before seen archival footage of Pan American Airway's epoch ten plus year conquest of the Pacific Ocean air travel market.  The story begins in 1929 with the first aircraft to be christened a Pan American Clipper by Mrs Herbert Hoover as assisted by Pan Am's legendary founder Juan Trippe.  The viewer of this video will also see such aviation founders as Igor Sikorsky and Pan Am's technical advisor Charles Lindbergh.  Viewers will marvel at the Pan Am construction crew's ability to construct island bases at Midway, Guam and Wake Islands names that would all become famous in World War II.  After initiating Pan Am Clipper service in the Pacific Ocean with Sikorsky flying boats, the stage was set for Pan Am's introduction of the larger Martin M-130, which was the first Pan Am flying boat to be given the name of China Clipper.  The viewer will witness its contruction and historic first flight across the Pacific Ocean, piloted by the legendary Captain Musick in 1935.  This flight ushered in the "romantic period" of flying boat travel in the Pacific region, which ended abruptly with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.  Even with the Martin M-130, Pan Am struggled to stay financially solvent until a plane that could profitably carry cargo and passengers came along.  The aircraft that saved the day for Pan Am was the Boeing designed Model-314.  The Model-314 represented the aircraft most closely connected with the "romantic period" of flying boats and flew the many routes across the Pacific Ocean until the out break of World War II.  While many of Pan Am's surviving flying boats assisted the US armed forces during World War II, the post war period saw the rapid improvement in land based airliners, which ultimately spelled the end for Pan Am flying boat service in the Pacific Ocean.  Full screen in black & white and color.  No release date given.  Runtime 60 minutes.
