  • The Long Way Home

    The greatest aerospace adventure you've never heard of.

    In the Episode No Safe Haven we have profiled stories from the crews and passengers of Pan Am’s Anzac, Hong Kong, and Philippine Clippers in the wake of the Japanese attack in 1941, but there was a fourth.  The Pacific Clipper was in Auckland New Zealand at the time.  They could not fly back home the way they came, so they were forced to take The Long Way Home.
