FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UNH's McCANN Adds Insight to PAA-Africa project.Durham, NH -- November 6, 2006 -- University of New Hampshire historian Frank D. McCann sat down with Producer John Schwally for an extended interview on Pan American Airways' role during the critical years leading up to U.S. involvement in World War II. The discussion centered on how Pan Am carried out President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Airport Development Program in the Caribbean and Latin America. The details and ramifications of Pan Am's role were discussed in detail for nearly 90 minutes. A most interesting - and enlightening - interview.
Prof. McCann is glad to see Wings Across the Sahara is in the works and was more than happy to discuss the story on camera. He noted, "America owes a great deal of gratitude to Pan Am for it's efforts before and during WWII." Read more on The Brazilian-American Alliance here.
