I have a friend who is working on a book about the aviation artists Wm. Heaslip and Clayton Knight I would love to see an image of your painting. He may have some info about the painting.

If it’s of any use to the cause, I have a few minutes of amateur film footage taken in Auckland Harbour during the summer of 1938/9. The Pan Am clipper looks brand new, and from memory there’ an airborn sweep of it as well.
It has been quite a few years since it was viewed by me, though with a bit of luck the film may have been committed to a capture file, which of course means a short Mpeg can be rendered from it.

The first five years of Pan Am flying to Honolulu was from Alameda, California not San Francisco. SFO came late to the game, prompted most likely due to WWII and the development of the Alameda Naval Air Station. http://www.fresnobee.com/2010/11/21/2167964/ceremony-to-mark-75th-anniversary.html

Kirk – The book is called “China Clipper: The True Story of Pan American’s Flying Boats and Their Role in the War in the Pacific” by Ronald Jackson, 1980, out of print. The Chinese-American businessman, Watson Choy, was my uncle.

I was an American child living in the Philippines in 1936 when the first passenger Clipper Flight landed in Manila. We watched in awe while my whole family was at barge side when this amazing,beautiful, winged bird came into view. My grandfather, Louis Weinzheimer, was on that first flight. The passengers gifted gold wristlets to each of the Clipper crew at a big party hosted by my grandfather on our sugar plantation in Laguna Province. It was a movable and memorable part of an exciting era in the annals of the Pan Am Clipper Ship and Aviation history.

My family and I will be attending the 75th Anniversary Commemorative Celebrations of the Pan Am Clipper Ship in November at Treasure Island. We can hardly wait.
