| | Educate Yourself - Juan Trippe and Pan Am, Part I |
 | | Historian Robert Sobel calls Juan Trippe "one of the most astute, clear-sighted, and venturesome businesspeople of the 20th century." Trippe, who never liked his name, though it proved to be a benefit in his career, had English roots, his family having migrated to America in 1663, later moving from Maryland to New Jersey. |
 | | Trippe didn't quite have the fortune that they thought he had, leaving an estate of just $30,000 and a company on the verge of bankruptcy. |
 | | Trippe was able to draw on international businessmen, as well as wealthy tourists not impacted by the Crash. |
