'First Atlantic survey flight to Lisbon.' Another shot confirms the registration. NC16736 wore the name Pan American Clipper III just a month earlier. Photo probably taken off Alverca which handled seaplanes until 1938 when the Aeroporto Marítimo de Cabo Ruivo was established near the new landplane airport at Portela.

Leased by Pan Am in 1947, this L-749 made the 'first commercial flight around the world' - New York to San Francisco via Europe and Asia. It completed the circumnavigation as a ferry flight because Pan Am was not allowed to fly domestic services. PAA could carry passengers between foreign cities on the route, however, and it was in the timetable as PA flight 1 and 2 for many years. The Constellation became F-BAZR and F-ZVMV and survives with the Musée the l'Air. Photo from: University of Miami

The S-40 came with full landing gear, but it could and was often removed to save weight. Ring cowlings were quickly removed from the R-1860 Hornet B engines. These were replaced with supercharged R-1690 Hornet T2D1s in 1935 to produce the S-40A. Photo by: Jesse S Wooley / University of Miami

A USAF aircraft diverted for postwar use by Pan American. Ex USAAF C-54G 45-545, converted by Douglas to civil C54G-DC in early 1947 (conversion #74) and delivered to Pan Am in March 1947. In 1954 it was returned to the USAF as 45-545. Photo from: Whites Aviation Collection/Alexander Turnbull Library

Emirau Island airport was built as two adjoining airstrips - Northern Cape for bombers, which is the one in the photo, and Inshore for fighters. The two were connected by a taxiway. The airfields now are considered to be one airport and in use. Satellite photos show Northern Cape's runway is less neglected than Inshore. Photo from: RNZAF/Air Force Museum of New Zealand

NZ2085 was used for air-sea rescue and was able to drop a life raft. The non-standard roundels may have something to do with that, possibly for calibration of the drops. Sold for scrap in 1951. Photo from: Whites Aviation Collection/Alexander Turnbull Library

Civilian seaplanes never caught on in the Netherlands, but the navy's Van Berkel crews toured the country enthusiastically it seems. W60 and W62 are seen visiting the fishing village of Volendam. People wear traditional costume. The gate to the terrace of Hotel Spaander, which still exists, is on the far right. Photo is probably from the 1920s because the aircraft don't seem to have all the upgrades the W-A went through. Photo by: LJ Karels / Zuiderzeemuseum
