China Clipper Glory: The Dawn of Ocean Air Transport - Part 2 of 3 Today, we think nothing about purchasing an airline ticket to fly over the Pacific Ocean for a five-hour trip to Hawaii or a 14-hour flight to Hong Kong, or beyond. But 75 years ago, flying from San Francisco to Hong Kong was a six-day journey requiring overnight stays at five island bases along the 8,000-mile route. In commemoration of this pioneering achievement in aviation, SFO Museum presents the second of a three-part podcast series titled, Clipper Glory: The Dawn of Ocean Air Transport. Re-live the very first passenger flight from the San Francisco Bay Area to Hong Kong. These original interviews with Pan Am flying boat crewmembers and first-person accounts of the airline’s island bases personnel recreate the sensation and excitement of this new air service that forever changed the world and laid the foundation for today’s global air system.

Clipper Glory: The Dawn of Ocean Air Transport Until 75 years ago this week it was impossible to buy an airline ticket to fly all the way across the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to Hong Kong, and back. On April 21, 1937, the very first revenue passengers, all seven of them, boarded a giant four-engine Pan American Airways flying boat at Alameda on San Francisco Bay. The six-day journey to Asia required overnight stays with stops at five island bases along the 8,000-mile route. The flight arrived in Hong Kong via Macao on April 28th completing the first of what then became regular weekly service. Commercial airplane service across the Atlantic would not commence for another two years. In commemoration of this pioneering achievement in aviation, SFO Museum presents the first of a three-part podcast series titled, Clipper Glory: The Dawn of Ocean Air Transport. These original interviews with Pan Am flying boat crewmembers and first-person accounts of the airline’s island bases personnel recreate the sensation and excitement of this new air service that forever changed the world and laid the foundation for today’s global air system..
