  Panagra
A Panagra Ford Tri-Motor left Buenos Aires, Argentina on October 12, 1929, and eight and a half hours later it arrived in Santiago, Chile.
Panagra started the first all-cargo route of any American flag airline when it inaugurated a route between the Canal Zone in Panama and Lima.
Indeed as the Panagra pilots continued their careers with Braniff and other airlines after the merger, not one life was lost with a Panagra pilot up front!

  Panagra, Pan American Grace Airways History
Panagra was the first airline in South America to develop and apply airways weather forecasts - and professional meteorologists furnish today all company planes with complete reports on the weather en-route and at destination at all hours.
Time and again, the airline's planes were sent on missions of mercy carrying a vial of precious lifesaving medicine to a dying man, an iron lung to a girl's stricken with polio, or a shipment of drugs to arrest the spread of an epidemic.
Panagra was an important factor in the economic and industrial development of South America.

 Airlines Remembered
Panagra initially started a long time ago, a cooperation by Pan American World Airways and W.R. Grace back in 1929.
Panagra actually built and operated airports along the west coast of South America.
This was an aircraft that Panagra had just received from the USAAF and completely reconditioned for passenger use, and it was rather desperately needed.

 Testimony on RLA Bill
In light of the actual route structure and operation of U.S. airlines in 1936, it is plain the Amendment evinces the clearly expressed intention of Congress to extend coverage of the RLA to pilots of U.S. air carriers who are domiciled overseas if they are engaged in foreign commerce.
Shortly after the Amendment, Pan Am and Panagra -- which as I earlier mentioned flew only international routes at the time and had pilots domiciled in foreign countries -- recognized ALPA as the duly authorized bargaining representative of their pilots.
Until they ceased operations (Panagra in 1966 and Pa n American in 1991), these two carriers bargained with, and concluded multiple agreements with, ALPA over the rates of pay, rules and working conditions of their pilots.

 Biography of Frank Melvin Beck
The pilots had a meeting and voted that I could not fly for Panagra since I had not been born in the U. Panagra then offered me a job as airport manager at Santa Cruz in Bolivia.
Panagra was giving me 1,000 dollars a month for expenses.
Since the only thing Panagra had offered me was an airport manager in Santa Cruz, I talked them into flying Marion, Adrian and me to La Paz with a free airline ticket back to the States within one year.
