Foreword

In writing this book on the trail of the Clipper Ships flying to the Orient, the author wishes to explain that the plane about which the story revolves is not technically the China Clipper, but the new Boeing California Clipper which also make the trip to China for Pan American Airways System.

The author also wishes to acknowledge the co-operation of Mr. Francis Walton, Director of the Public Relations Bureau of Pan American Airways System and other members of the personnel for access to bulletins, charts, photographs, and personal experiences which aided in making this story an authentic account of the flight across the Pacific Ocean.

To Marianne Miller and Frank Nay the author extends thanks for their aid on the manuscript and technical drawings.
