Publisher's Summary

Originally published by Wm. Morrow, in 1995, Skygods is the saga of America's most glamorous airline - from its meteoric ascent to its plunge to extinction. Pan Am blazed the way across the world's oceans with its magnificent Clipper ships, launched the first international jet service, was the first to fly the behemoth 747, was the lead customer for America's SST and the Concorde, and was even taking reservations for the first commercial flights to the moon.

Told from multiple viewpoints - pilots, stewardesses, management executives - Skygods is the life story of an American icon.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Profile Image for Vaughan

Trials and tribulations of a corporation which succeeded - and then failed!

Whatever happened to Pan Am always interested me, because as a child in New Zealand, they always seemed glamorous from the extensive travel advertising. The book did answer my whatever happened question and in a way which highlighted that regardlss - aviation is about the people. Narration was sometimes stentor`an with strangely emphasised chapter announcements. A superb story line well written, which fell slightly short due to narration quirkiness.
