75th Anniversary Tribute to Pan Am's China Clipper (video)
About 20 minutes long, but well worth watching.
Some surprises, as well as seeing what commercial aviation was like in the '30s.
Enjoy:

Some early photos taken while the bridge was under construction, others photos with the bridge completed.
I didn't know Alameda was Pan Am's first Clipper port in the Bay Area. I always thought it was Treasure Island, but then again, there was no Treasure Island in 1934.
Pan American World Airways' Clipper in the seaplane harbor at Treasure Island about 1940. The site of the 1939-1940 Worlds fair was to become San Francisco International Airport in 1941. However, the Navy seized the island in 1942, shortly after World War II began, and it became Treasure Island Naval Station .
Would have, could have, should have been.
