Second Great Circle Flight
SEATTLE. April 17—Pan Amer
ican World Airways has complet
ed the second proving flight over
the Great Circle route through
the bleak Aleutians linking Seat
tle and Shanghai, China.
At 4:33 p.m. on April 13, its.
Constellation Clipper landed at
Boeing Field in Seattle after some
11,000 miles of precedent-break
ing, record-making flights in the
North Pacific area. Under com
mand of Capt. S. E. Robbins of |
Capt. S. E. Robbins
Palo Alio, California, the plane
, carried 17 persons . . . the crew of
nine, five pilots of Pan American’s
affiliate, China National Aviation
Corporation, and three company
, employees.
Captain Robbins, a veteran J
I Alaskan and transocean flyer, set
i i
six new commercial records and j
had covered 19,294 miles all told :
in 81 hours and 4B minutes flying
time when he steped from the I
Constellation in Seattle. He left
l San Francisco with UNRRA pas
sengers on April 4.
“Less then 20-houi flights be- j
tween the United States and
Japan, 20-odd hour service
through to China, is now practi-j
cal.” Captain Robbins said. “The I
Great Circle route is nearly 2000
miles shorter than the Central Pa
cific airway and can be flown in
about 12 hours less time.
“Our flight marks the comple- j
tion of four trial runs over this
heretofore “unknown” sector . . .
and it’s no harder than the rest.
With its facilities and with Pan
Amer can ground crews stationed
along it. the route itself is in good !
shape. With these Constellation
type Clippers, equipped to operate
at attitudes of 20.000 feet or bet
ter, we fly over all but terminal
weather conditions.
“So far as the Clippers and
crews arc concerned. Pan Ameri
can is ready to fly this route from
now on. Clearance, however, must
be received from the Army before
additional UNRRA flights may be
made on this short-cut route to
the Orient.”
As flown by Capt. Gordon F.
Maxwell, chief pilot of Pan Amer
ican’s Pacific-Alaska Divisi o n ,
who blazed the first trail for com
mercial aircraft from Shanghai to
Seattle by way of Adak and An
chorage, Alaska, last March 30,
the direct route measured 6,200
miles . . . 1,820 miles less than the
route from San Francisco through
Hawaii, Wake Island and Tokyo
to Shanghai.
Instead of following this same
direct course, however, Captain
Robbins shuttled three times
across the 2400-mile ocean stretch
between Tokyo and Adak, the
only section with which Pan
American crews have been unfa
miliar. He flew from Tokyo to
Adak by way of Shenya, the
mighty military air base near the
tip of the Aleutians. Turning
around at Adak, he went back to
Tokyo by way of Chitose, one
time defense base on the home is
land of Hokkaido, north of the Jap
capital, on the first flight ever
completed in that direction by a
commercial aircraft. He left
Tokyo at 4:34 a.m. on Friday,
April 12, and remained overnight
at Anchorage before coming
through to Seattle.
