I didn't think much of it at all to be honest.

They seemed to think the 747 was 'created' for Pan Am. My understanding is that it was originally a military contract that was won by Lockheed with the Galaxy.

Which explains the hump as it was designed as a freighter with a thru-deck.

They also appeared to promote the idea that without Pan-Am and the 707 the jet age was doomed. A brief mention of the DH Comet being first was swamped later by labouring the point of it's later tragedies.



As for the fictional Pan-Am series.
