À propos de cet audio
Pan Am at War chronicles the airline's historic role in advancing aviation and serving America's national interest before and during World War II. From its inception, Pan American Airways operated as the "wings of democracy", spanning six continents and placing the country at the leading edge of international aviation. At the same time, it was clandestinely helping to fight America's wars.
Utilizing government documents, declassified Freedom of Information Act material, and company documents, the authors have uncovered stories of Pan Am's stunning role as an instrument of American might. They detail the airline's role in building air bases in Latin America and countering Axis interests that threatened the Panama Canal; the dangerous 17,000-mile journey that took President Roosevelt to the high-stakes Casablanca Conference with Winston Churchill; the daring flight that delivered uranium for the atomic bomb; and more.
Filled with larger-than-life characters, and revelations of the vision and technology it took to dominate the skies, Pan Am at War provides a gripping unknown history of the American Century.

Great oral history of PanAM
This book is more of an oral history of PanAm as opposed to focusing mainly on the airline during the war effort. It starts off with Juan Tripps background and how he started the airline in the late 20s, all the way up to the expansion and exploration throughout the 30s and into the 40s. I was very interested to learn of how many aviation pioneers were also involve dwith PanAm at some point or another during those years. Its a great listen if you are into aviation history and this period in general, though it may be a little slow for the average listener.

A very rich aviation history
This is a book for aviation geeks (AV Geeks!) and history buffs alike. It covers how international air routes were established, which was pretty interesting. Jam packed with stories. I wasn’t crazy about the narrator: not terrible but a bit too monotone for my liking. But don’t let it stop you from listening.
