Identifier2008-04-24Description

The P.J. Muller Collection of Pan Am Menus is a small collection consisting of four Pan Am Special Business Class dinner menu cards with commemorative illustrations of historic flights of Pam Am Clippers on the covers. The menus were acquired between 1984-1985 aboard Pan Am 747 flights between JFK (New York) and Heathrow (London) airports.

The historic flights depicted include a Sikorsky S-38 Amphibian piloted by Charles Lindbergh delivering air mail to the Canal Zone from Miami, Florida in 1929; inaugural service to the Belgian Congo in 1946 in a Douglas DC-4; Pan Am's first passenger flight between Key West, Florida and Havana, Cuba in 1928 in a Fokker F-7; and nonstop service between Los Angeles, California and Tokyo, Japan in a Boeing 747SP in 1976. The watercolor illustrations on the menus were all done by John T. McCoy.
