THE ORIGINS
THE FIRST
TRANSCONTINENTAL
FLIGHTS
When the legendary airline Pan Am trained its flight crews, it prepared them to perform as flawlessly as their instruments. While the “Pan Am smile” was the face known to the public, behind the scenes, pilots were trained in challenging techniques such as astral navigation. The first transcontinental commercial flight, in 1955, was both cause for celebration and confirmation that such training and tools were a winning combination. The GMT-Master became the official watch of Pan Am pilots.
