    The China Clipper, a Pan American Airways flying boat, crossed the Pacific Ocean in 1935, marking a watershed moment in aviation history. With dramatic re-enactments, interviews with historians and biographers, and archival photographs, newsreel clips, and film, the documentary series recounts the development of this technological innovation – led by Pan Am's chief executive Juan Trippe, pilot Charles Lindbergh, airplane engineer Igor Sikorsky, and radio engineer Hugo Leuteritz.
