Across the Pacific
Tells the story of the crossing of the Pacific Ocean by the China Clipper, a Pan American Airways flying boat, in 1935. This was a big moment in aviation history. This technological innovation was led by Pan Am's CEO Juan Trippe, pilot Charles Lindbergh, airplane engineer Igor Sikorsky, and radio engineer Hugo Leuteritz. The documentary series tells the story of how this happened through dramatic re-enactments, interviews with historians and biographers, and archival photos, newsreel clips, and film.
