"Musick's Trippe to Paradise"
On November 22, 1935, Captain Edwin C. Musick flew the Pan American Airways System
“China Clipper” (Martin M-130 flying boat) on its maiden flight from San Francisco,
California, to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Mr. Juan Trippe, who founded Pan American
Airways in 1927 and flew the China Clipper with Charles Lindbergh on her acceptance
flight, was instrumental in developing Trans-Pacific commercial flight. Although only
three Martin M-130 flying boats were built, these seaplanes became some of America’
s most famous aircraft. Known for their luxury, two of these renowned flying boats
accumulated 12,718,200 passenger miles by 1940. The China Clipper, which flew for
ten years and was one of the gems of the Pan American fleet, is seen here flying past
Diamond Head, Hawaii, on the last leg of its flight to Paradise
