Reviews
" Pan Am at War is a fascinating and little known story of how the development of this seminal airline became a huge asset for America in WWII. Pan Am went to war right alongside B-17s, B-29s, Corsairs, Hellcats. Aerodynamics, instrumentation, routes--Pan Am was there. Another great story from the greatest generation." -Tom Brokaw "In the 1930s and 1940s, Pan American Airways cast air lines across the world's great oceans, pioneering intercontinental air travel...one of the great technological accomplishments of the twentieth century. At the same time...Pan Am served as a spearpoint of U.S. strategic engagement, projecting American power to every corner of the globe. In their briskly-written and ever-amazing Pan Am at War , authors Mark Cotta Vaz and John H. Hill tell what must surely be the greatest corporate story in American history--how Pan Am's daring and visionary executives, aviators, and innovators helped win the Second World War." -- Gregory Crouch , author of China's Wings and The Bonanza King " Pan Am at War is a major contribution to the literature on the history of American aviation. Not only is it a riveting narrative with fascinating characters--the airline's founder, Juan Trippe, is a real-life Jay Gatsby--but the book breaks new ground regarding Pan Am's contribution to Allied victory in World War II." -- Gregg Herken , Emeritus Professor of History, University of California, author of Brotherhood of the Bomb and The Georgetown Set

Synopsis
Filled with larger-than-life characters, and revelations of the vision and technology it took to dominate the skies before and during, World War II, here is a gripping piece of aviation history. Pan Am at War chronicles the airline's historic role in advancing aviation and serving America's national interest before and during World War II. From its inception, Pan American Airways operated as the "wings of democracy," spanning six continents and placing the country at the leading edge of international aviation. At the same time, it was clandestinely helping to fight America's wars. Utilizing government documents, declassified Freedom of Information Act material, and company documents, the authors have uncovered stories of Pan Am's stunning role as an instrument of American might: The airline's role in building air bases in Latin America and countering Axis interests that threatened the Panama Canal Creating transatlantic and trans-Africa supply lines for sending Lend-Lease equipment to Britain Cooperation with Chiang Kai-shek and the Chinese nationalist government to pioneer the dangerous "Hump" route over the Himalayas The dangerous seventeen-thousand-mile journey that took President Roosevelt to the high-stakes Casablanca Conference with Winston Churchill The daring flight that delivered uranium for the atomic bomb. For anyone interested in aviation, business, or military history, here is astonishing story filled with big ideas and the leaders who made them a reality.
