Very truly yours,

STEPPED-UP SERVICE - PLANNED
MONTHS AGO, NOW LAUNCHED
...fulfilling our promise to Alaska and bringing the
territory 35 flights each week in both directions
Added equipment—Flying Clippers
that have been earmarked for Alaska
for several months—are now being
delivered to this run! They make
possible the most frequent and satis
factory air service ever offered to
Alaska. Here are the facts —
Fifteen hundred more passengers
every month will be able to “fly Clip
per” to or from Alaska. A total of
5,000 Pan American passenger seats
will be available each month. Plus a
vastly increased capacity for goods
traveling by Clipper Express.
There'll be 35 Clipper flights a
week both ways between the Terri
tory cuul Seattle!
These long-planned schedule im
provements are a further step in
Pan American service to Alaska — a
service that has consistently bettered
equipment, speeded schedules and
lowered fares over 14 years of Alaska
operation. For Flying Clipper reser
vations contact Pan American at the
