Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Escape of Pan Am's Pacific Clipper on its maiden voyage is a true story of adventure and suspense. In 1941, the Pacific Clipper was a technological marvel and the finest commercial plane in the air. Not only did Japan and Germany seek the capture of such a desirable prize, but America's allies and friends looked for ways of laying claim to her. Trapped in New Zealand after the bombing of Pearl Harbour, with all their Pacific bases under attack or captured, the valiant crew of eleven men challenged the Imperial Japanese Navy, 30,000 miles of uncharted waters, and the German Luftwaffe to try for a safe landing in America. With courage and skill, the crew of the Pacific Clipper eluded the pursuing Japanese through Australia, Indonesia, Ceylon, and India. In Iran, the Germans took up the chase through Egypt, the Congo, and Brazil. After a final stop at Trinidad, the heroic crew brought the Clipper home to New York and the final showdown. Without arms, money or proper maintenance facilities, and under strict radio silence, they succeeded where most would have given up or failed. Their gripping tale and magnificent odyssey is captured by George Flynn and illustrated with maps, schematics, and technical data on this revolutionary mono-wing seaplane.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of Taking Mr. Exxon and The Death of an Heir comes the untold story of four luxury airliners trapped in the Pacific Ocean on and after the Day of Infamy. In the first week of December 1941, four Pan American Airways System (Pan Am) flying clippers—the largest and most lavish transpacific airliners in the world—took off from the North American West Coast, loaded with wealthy and affluent passengers on their way to exotic destinations. On December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service executed a surprise coordinated attack against the US naval base at Pearl Harbor. Within hours, Midway Atoll, Wake Island, Guam, and Manila—all of which were refueling stops for these Pan Am flying clippers—were targeted and bombed by the same Japanese forces that had devastated Pearl Harbor. Stranded within the vast boundaries of the Pacific Ocean, these civilian airlines were unexpectedly at risk of being captured or shot down by Japanese military. The assault on Pearl Harbor removed any possibility for US military assistance, and the attack of the refueling stations made it impossible for these airlines to refuel their depleting gas tanks. Alone and unreachable, Pan Am crews and their frightened passengers were left with no choice but to make their own way across the volatile Pacific Ocean, where neither land, air, nor sea could promise safety, and do their best to survive—if they could.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lieutenant David Miller has all the right credentials: Annapolis graduate, the gold wings of a naval aviator, and the recent completion of the Navy's counterintelligence school. But he is lacking the most important ingredient in the real and deadly world of espionage-experience. His clandestine assignments use the luxurious Boeing 314 flying boat, operated by Pan American, as a cover and on this trip he is to assure the safe passage of a Chinese Envoy, who is to deliver a secret document from President Roosevelt to Premier Chiang Kai-shek. The new four-engine 'Pacific Clipper' arrives in San Francisco in June 1941, to start the first leg of its 8,000-mile journey to the orient and Miller begins an unintended relationship with one of the passengers, a Japanese-American. His prejudice is tempered by her decidedly 'American' culture and personality but he is unsure of her loyalty to America. While aware of his shortcomings in espionage, Miller is totally unsuspecting of how ill prepared he is for a first serious encounter with a young lady who is aggressive for his affections. Will this relationship compromise the mission?
