High up in the fading evening sky a new PAA Boeing B-314 flies over… not Xanadu of some mystical lost world… but Treasure Island, located out in the middle of San Francisco Bay. Filled, leveled and joined to a small island called Yerba Buena, it became the home of the Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939. Also visible at lower right is a Sikorsky S-38, probably also owned by PAA. This became Pan Am's western base of operations after the Expo. But when WW-II came, it became a U.S. Navy base and some of the more exotic structures disappeared. |
