Kirk, See if you can find a copy of “Fix On the Rising Sun” by Charles Hill. It’s a conspiracy book, but with a lot of good information about the ill fated flight. Woody

The last comment in the original article above refers to the July, 1939 disappearance of aGuam to Manila clipper. I read a story once about this flight that told of a Chinese businessman from the east coast of U.S. carrying funds to China. I have been unable to find the book or other information on the flight. Any help would be appreciated

You have given me an incentive to add more photos and information about NZ! What a great comment! Thanks for taking the time to post it!

Just thought you would like to meet someone who was born on that eventful day when the first Pan Am flying boat landed in Auckland harbor. My parents thought that event was so memorable that I was named Clipper

I am sad that the landing in NZ is not featured in these articles.

You right! The website is simple, clean and elegant. It tells the story without all the bells and whistles of so many other sites today. I plan to add this site to my “Links Page” this weekend.

I invite you to visit my website (www.nickgrantadventures.com). It’s not as simple, but I’ve cobbled together some additional Pan Am Clippers stuff. My novel, ‘FLYING BOATS & SPIES’ tells the story of building the Tranpacific bases on Midway and Wake. It’s very accurate and I had a blast writing it.
Cheers! Jamie

Nice website. I’m on dial-up so I appreciate the simple design. I’m a big fan of the clipper ship era. A friend of mine, Steve Neill, is an artist who hand paints replicas of advertising signs from the 30’s and 40’s. I’m still working on the web site for himm (he doesn’t own a computer). Takes forever at modem speeds. Thought you might enjoy his work.
