Across the Pacific (2020) is a three-hour documentary series about one of the great milestones in aviation history: the 1935 crossing of the Pacific Ocean by a Pan American Airways flying boat know as the China Clipper. Originally seen on public television stations, the entire series is on this DVD.

Pan Am clippers were critical to long range transportation and when WWII broke out with Japan, the USN joined forces with Pan Am to implement the Clippers for war. Because land runways were scarce in those days, flying boats solved that issue.
