EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic moment of the first Pan American Airways (PAN-AM) service between Key West, United States and Havana, Cuba in October 1927. Founded by Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, Pan American Airways was a trailblazer in aviation history, revolutionizing air travel with regular air transportation between the two nations. The aircraft featured in this image is the General New, a Fokker trimotor with Wright Whirlwind J5 engines. Capable of carrying eight passengers, a pilot, and a flight mechanic, this aircraft marked a significant leap in air transport capacity. The card accompanying the photograph reads, "A Round Trip Saves Two Business Days," highlighting the time-saving advantages of air travel compared to sea routes. The General New, a Fokker F.VII Trimotor, was a sturdy and reliable aircraft for its time, boasting three Wright Whirlwind J5 engines that provided the power needed to traverse the distance between Key West and Havana. This photograph captures the excitement and innovation of the early days of aviation, as PAN-AM established the first regular air link between the United States and Cuba, paving the way for the growth of international air travel. As you gaze upon this image, imagine the sense of adventure and anticipation that accompanied the first passengers aboard the General New as they embarked on their journey across the Caribbean Sea, marking the beginning of a new era in transportation history.
