Need a movie about this.
Absolutely. Can offset the Chicom “Midway” BS in theaters.
On youtube there is an original 1943 recreation of the Clipper’s circuitous route home. It begins with the radioman picking up traffic that Pearl Harbor was bombed, then the captain orders the passengers woken & to assemble in the dining saloon where he gives them the news of war breaking out.
What is amazing even now was Pan Am’s global communications network and how the Clipper was able to find refueling points all the way to New York.
