This edition has an additional 16 pages to add more historical and current information and provide additional detail and context to the historical importance of the flying boats, including: Pan Am's Art Deco terminals; the fate of the last Pan Am Clippers and where to see the survivors; the Foynes Flying Boat Terminal, Ireland; Trippe and Lindbergh's groundbreaking flight to the Orient by way of the Great Circle Route (Canada-Alaska-Siberia-Japan-China); Shediac, Newfoundland, landing site of 24 Savoia Manchetti S-55 flying boats from Rome en route to Chicago's Century of Progress International Exposition; Pan Am enters politics when Frank Roosevelt uses it in Latin America to sidestep the World War II Neutrality Act; Trippe's long-held dream of flying mail and passengers across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe, and the opening of LaGuardia Airport.
