Great gift for previous Pan Am Employee My father in law just turned 90 and I couldn't think of anything to give him. After thinking about all his favorite conversations, I found this book and took a chance. He absolutely loved it and I was so pleased that he'll enjoy looking through it again and again.. "Great information" according to Lorraine Wilkie. This book is filled with dates of the various time lines that Pan Am went through. It has lots of pictures of the different airplanes in Pan Am;s history. Pictures of various flight tickets to lots of different countries Pan Am flew to. Even shows a map of the different flight plant. Good reading. Lorraine Wilkie Douglasville,Ga. De
