"Pan Am at War is a fascinating and little known story of how the development of this seminal airline became a huge asset for America in WWII. Pan Am went to war right alongside B-17s, B-29s, Corsairs, Hellcats. Aerodynamics, instrumentation, routes—Pan Am was there. Another great story from the greatest generation."  
–Tom Brokaw

"In the 1930s and 1940s, Pan American Airways cast air lines across the world’s great oceans, pioneering intercontinental air travel...one of the great technological accomplishments of the twentieth century. At the same time...Pan Am served as a spearpoint of U.S. strategic engagement, projecting American power to every corner of the globe. In their briskly-written and ever-amazing Pan Am at War, authors Mark Cotta Vaz and John H. Hill tell what must surely be the greatest corporate story in American history—how Pan Am’s daring and visionary executives, aviators, and innovators helped win the Second World War."
—Gregory Crouch, author of China's Wings and The Bonanza King

"Pan Am at War is a major contribution to the literature on the history of American aviation. Not only is it a riveting narrative with fascinating characters—the airline's founder, Juan Trippe, is a real-life Jay Gatsby—but the book breaks new ground regarding Pan Am's contribution to Allied victory in World War II."
