Pan Am on Palmyra Territories of the United States states without attribution that Palmyra was formerly before 1950 a seaplane base used by Pan American Airlines and the U S Navy It had a Pan American hotel that was used for overnight stops by travelers It was along an air travel route that linked Hawaii with American Samoa Australia and other destinations in the south Pacific as non stop flights were not possible If true this seems at least as relevant to the history of the island as who sold what parcels of land to whom Can anyone verify disprove the claim
