Pan Am Clippers
At remote and exotic locales around the world, news that the Clipper was in was sure to draw a crowd. For a brief period before the United States' entry into the Second World War, the Pan Am Clippers evoked the mystique of luxury and romance of far away lands unequalled in the annals of aviation. The glamour of the Clippers quickly captured the imagination of the public and images of the great flying boats soon appeared on all manner of products. Even those who had never ventured near the oceans became intimately familiar with the Pan Am Clippers.

Photographs by Dale Denny of Vancouver
The late photographer’s photos include those of the Soviet airplane that made history by crossing the North Pole and landing in Vancouver.
