 On November P, 1885, the China Clipper" a Martin flying boat, took off from the waters of San Francisco Bay. More than 125,O ,O0O persons watched from van- tage points around the Golden Gate.
 The China Clipper reac h e d Honolulu 21 hours later. It land ed on Manila Bay in the Philip pines six days out of San Francis co-phenomenal speed Is years ago.
 Word flashed around the world that the first commercial aerial crossing of a major ocean had been completed successfully.
 On November 22, 1850, cakes bearing 15 candles, symbolic of fifteen years of continued prog ress were cut in all Clippers aloft at the time, and in all the stations and bases along the airline's far flung Pacific routes.
 Tn 1885 service started with one flight week across the Pacific. In 1850 total of 16 flights a week soar out over the ocean.
 Instead of q hours flying time to Hawaii from the Mainland, the time is nine hours.
