Pan American Airways operated as the wings of democracy across six continents while clandestinely helping to fight America's wars. Drawing on government documents, declassified material and company records, this account covers the airline's role in building air bases in Latin America, countering Axis interests near the Panama Canal, and creating the transatlantic and trans-Africa supply lines that carried Lend-Lease equipment.
