The name Pan American is synonymous with the history of aviation (yup, i'm a Pan Am fanboy). In 1949, 20 Boeing 377-10-26 Stratocruiser entered the service of Pan American. A beautiful, luxurious double-decker bird.
In today's article I am going to show you a couple of promo drawings as well as the diagram of the Clipper America, (a plane that was totaled on june 2nd, 1958 when it landed wheels up at at the Manila Airport...) from a 1949 brochure.
Club lounge downstairs seats 14 comfortably. Here you can meet people, enjoy coffee, tea, snacks...or refreshments from the bar in the rear...walk around and admire the view from the big circular windows.
Berths are extra-large. You may even order breakfast in bed!
How roomy! Here's a corner of the huge huge 53-passengers main cabin. The big lounge-type seats are of a new design - and are wonderfully restful. Meals served on tables - not on your lap.
Pan American presents the largest, fastest, most luxurious airliners in the world! They are the Clipper America and he 19 sister ships, now being put into service and received. They'll accommodate up to 75 passengers...get you there hours sooner!
In the diagram below, A is the stateroom (4 berths or 8 seats); B-washrooms, C-lounge seats; D-14 berths in this section; E-mail, Clipper Cargo; F-club lounge.
