"Meeting the Test of the War Emergency", advertisement by Pan American Airways
back cover image from New Horizons, Vol. 12, No. 11, August 1942. Text reads: "Today, as the United Nations build steadily and surely towards ultimate victory, Pan American is glad that the "know how", personnel and facilities it developed during 15 years of trail blazing in international air transport so well fitted the company for the roles it is playing in the war effort - roles characterized by President Roosevelt as "of an importance which cannot be overestimated." The further perfection of skills, equipment and services under this wartime pressure will be of equally great value, we believe, in the post-war task of building a better world for free people everywhere."
