Greetings everyone! As we enter the month of May, it made me think back to another May in 1936 when the Hawaii Clipper was christened in the still waters of Pearl Harbor between Ford Island and Pearl City. My fellow traveler and filmmaker colleague, Jeff Riegel, and I visited that very spot last year and…

Re-Researching the Richter Library
Recently, I visited the Richter Library to assess their effort of re-cataloging the massive Pan Am Airways. Wow, what a difference! On my last visit, I went through nearly twenty boxes of photos… this time, only five. Why? There is so much more to see and now items are in their proper order. Great job…
Cleared to Land
I just left the University of Miami’s Pan Am grand debut of the “Cleared to Land” exhibit and recognition program marking the achievement of reinvigorating the archive search system. It was truly a wonderful event and showcased speakers who helped put together a far more precise catalog system after over 700 man hours of effort….
Goodbye to 2014
What a year! 2014 lived up to and even exceeded the expectations for how I, and many others, thought the year would play out. The good news of 2014 for me was that we finally solved the existence and location of the “concrete hospital slab.” The bad news is IF the passengers and crew of…

Apra Harbor is a deep water port on the western side of the US territory of Guam. The southern end of the harbor is the location of Naval Base Guam and the site of where the massive China Clipper flying boats touched down and delivered their passengers and cargo. Today most of Apra Harbor is…
Back in the USA
Hi everyone, It has been a couple of weeks since we have been back and I am still combing though video, photos and data we acquired. I know that some of you want a definitive answer on our search results but that will take much more time. The reason is that although we found “the”…
Notes from the Field…
Today, Jeff and I are conducting a site survey at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel on the beaches of Waikiki. This location was the overnight accommodation for Pan Am Clipper passengers transiting from the US to points in Asia. The hotel still retains its characteristic coral pink hue but is now a modern facility with all…
