Long Way Home--Pan Am Pacific Clipper 31K Mile WWII Saga

Astonishing story of Pan Am's Pacific Clipper, caught in the South Pacific during the attack in Pearl Harbor, and declared a "strategic resource at the disposal of the American military", resulting in an incredible 31K mile trip back to the USA.

"Do not return to Hawaii. Do not return to US west coast...Strip aircraft of all markings and identification...proceed west...maintain radio silence...deliver aircraft to Marine Terminal, LaGuardia, NY. Good luck."
