Charles’ father, Juan Trippe, was a founder of Pan American World Airways, and under his direction, the airline became the first to fly across the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans, the first to put American-made jets into commercial use and the first to order the Boeing 747. Juan Trippe and some friends from Yale started a charter service and sightseeing company on Long Island in 1923 with a handful of surplus World War I Navy planes. He went on, four years later, to lead in the creation of Pan Am.
