'Across The Pacific'

[dragonflightdesign 98]

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.

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.
