Pan American-Grace Airways

The World's Friendliest Airline.

"The great philosophy which should guide the management of all transportation is service, and, from its inception 25 years ago, the watchword of Panagra has been service and service and more service. In the airline business, above all others, that philosophy is the guidepost of success."

"Service, Mr. Chairman, has many phases. When we in the airline business talk of service, we mean service on the ground; we mean service in the cabin and, above all, we mean service in the shops and in the cockpit, because the primary responsibility of airline management . . . that which falls most heavily on our shoulders, is to guard the safety of the human beings who entrust their lives to our care."

Mr. Andrew B. Shea
President, Pan American-Grace Airways, Inc.
Speaking at the Newcomen Society, Feb. 24, 1954

In memory of Capt. Charles Schultz

Captain Schultz joined Panagra in 1943 and continued with Braniff after the merger until he retired in 1974. During these years, he also served as a technical consultant to Lloyd Aero Boliviano Airlines. After retirement Capt. Schultz served on two missions for the International Civil Aviation Organization.

The route map and the DC-7 line drawing are from the 1955 edition of El Chasqui, the yearbook of Colegio Franklin D. Roosevelt, The American School of Lima. This school was founded by Panagra pilot William Kent.
