Across the Pacific
The China Clipper, a Pan American Airways flying boat, made a historic crossing of the Pacific Ocean in 1935. With dramatic re-enactments, interviews with historians and biographers, and archival photographs, newsreel clips, and film, the documentary series recounts the development of this technological innovation, led by Pan Am's chief executive Juan Trippe, pilot Charles Lindbergh, airplane engineer Igor Sikorsky, and radio engineer Hugo Leuteritz.
