The S-42 "Samoan Clipper" moored at

Pago Pago, Samoa on Christmas Eve, 1937.

Unfortunately PAA would have a tragic

experience with Pago Pago and mostly

abandoned it as a seaplane base because

the harbor was extremely difficult for

landings and take-offs, with high, often

cloud-covered nearby mountain peaks.
