Pan-American Clippers Prepare ALHAMBRA
For Regular Flights
SAN FRANCISCO-MACAO SERVICE TO COMMENCE
THIS MONTH ·
Washington, July 20. - PAN-AMERICAN airways, whose giant flying boats have conquered the Pacific, plans to start regular passenger service between San Francisco, Honolulu and Manila the latter part of August or the first of September.
Virtually all of the arrangements necessary to the establish. ment of passenger service have been completed. Department of Commerce inspectors are riding the air "Clippers" to determine their air-worthiness and safety preparatory to the issuance of a federal licence.
Pan-American officials themselves are satisfied that the time is ripe to inaugurate the passenger service. The company's trans- oceanic mail planes have flown the route between San Francisco and Manila and return. 12 times since the service was begun on November 22, 1935. Only once was a flying clipper forced to return! to its base after, it had started on a trip. Extremely bad weather once last winter forced the Hawaiian bound ship to return to its Californin base.
When the mail service was first startest, the huge planes experi enced some engine trouble due to overheating but that difficulty has been remedied.
