An aerial view of a Pan American Airways facility sets this one apart from the usual aviation pictures on the board, which tend to focus on aircraft in flight. Pan American, founded in 1927, grew into the dominant American international carrier of the 1930s and 1940s, pioneering transoceanic routes with flying boats and later long-range landplanes. Pictures taken from above like this one show how much ground infrastructure, including hangars, runways and terminal buildings, supported that expansion. It is worth looking at the layout closely for clues about how the airline organized its operations.
