March 7, 20224 yr Commercial Member A three-part series made by America's PBS about Juan Trippe's determination to cross the Pacific after the British locked him out of the Atlantic route. I found it well worth the three hours to see it all. Apart from the B-314 in the last episode, there are some nice shots of the Sikorsky S40/S42 and the Martin M-130. There is also a fair amount of time devoted to how Pan-Am created the first RDF stations. https://www.pbs.org/video/across-the-pacific-airborne-8ms7qa/ One thing I really like about PBS documentaries is the total lack of adverts, except at the beginning when they list who funded the documentary. It was always my 'go-to' channel during the year I was at college in the States. -Dai Edited December 8, 20223 yr by dragonflightdesign
