Never nonstop?

When PA and TW were about to start their polar flights in 1957 the Aviation Week article said a Frobisher stop would be usual for Pan Am-- both ways, far as we can tell. IIRC Airport Activity Stats shows 100+ PA DC7C departures from Frobisher during 1958.

But TWA apparently did manage even a few westward nonstops.
