nice try This is a book that I really tried to like. I think the problem may be how much can be done and still keep a limited interest book at the proper price point. Unfortunately, printing design and publication costs seen to have worked against the book. Far too many pictures have already been seen in othe. Great gift for previous Pan Am Employee My father in law just turned 90 and I couldn't think of anything to give him. After thinking about all his favorite conversations, I found this book and took a chance. He absolutely loved it and I was so pleased that he'll enjoy looking through it again and again.. Great information Lorraine Wilkie This book is filled with dates of the various time lines that Pan Am went through. It has lots of pictures of the different airplanes in Pan Am;s history. Pictures of various flight tickets to lots of different countries Pan Am flew to. Even shows a map of the different flight plant. Good reading. Lo
