China Clipper Inaugural Passenger Flight 1936 Part 3 

This aircraft is very beautiful and extremely comfortable for long travels distance

There is some very interesting information in these videos, and by creating them, you have done a service to the historical aviation community. Thank you!

Thank you for creating these videos. By the time my Dad started flying for the US Air Force, and later the Virginia Air National Guard, air safety was considerably better, and the Air Guard lost very few pilots, over decades of flying. I'm sure that is why I still have a great love for flying.

What a gracious way to travel 80+ years ago.

I volunteer at the Alameda Naval Air Museum, and we have an interesting section on the Clippers, Of course we were also home port for them.

Wonderful Series! Mahalo (Thank You)! 😊🤙🏼

Thank You!!

Such an interesting piece of history, thank you. Cheers from Australia.

Sad to hear of their deaths. God bless them for their contributions and valor. 👍👍

@MrJamiedodson Thanks for your comment. I'll briefly visited your site, but plan to revisit. Sam Gillie

It is the same Fred Noonan. He got fired from Pan Am for alcoholism, then went to fly with Amelia Earhart.

Thanks for your comment. Part 4 is not an EAH video. The link is in the video description, click on "Show More"

Great series...can you tell us what may have happened to Part 4. It is not on the site? Thank you

It bugs me when they misspell Capt. Musick it is not spelled Musik.

@ 7:54, Fred Noonan was Amelia's navigator on her fatal, final flight. My guess is that something happened to Fred on that flight and that's why Amelia was lost. Fred could navigate a sun line to Hell and back whereas Amelia needed a map just to find her way to the rest room. Again. that's just my personal opinion. What happened?

Your China Clipper videos are great series. Thanks for taking the time assemble them and sharing them. I write historical fiction novels about Pan Am in the Pacific during the 1930s. You may enjoy my website. At the bottom of the left column I have links to a great deal of information about the flying clipper ships and the men who flew them. Google Nick Grant Adventures. Jamie Dodson,

Had a black and white photograph postcard of the plane Musick was killed in. At least that's what the people who sent the card from Pago Pago said on the back of it.

THIS GUY ALMOST PUT HIMSELF TO SLEEP WITH HIS OWN VOICE!

was it possible to buy a ticket to china on the china clipper? Or after Manila were you just told "China's that way."

Hey, no seatbelts!

This Fred Noonan might be the same guy who flew with Amelia Earhart on her last flight

~2:20 - Funny!
