Panoramic Image of the Bridge Between Wake and Peale Islandsvu 7928 foisAs best I can tell from the map of Wake Island this is the bridge between Wake Island and Peale Island. The water beneath leads into the lagoon. It appears that the bridge is under construction. I think this photo --- actually two slides stitched together --- is circa 1953.16 Février 2008

Wake Island from the Airvu 2901 foisMy father, Woody Walsh, was stationed by PanAm on Wake Island in, I believe, 1953. At the time Wake Island was a refuelling airport for the China Clippers en route from the West Coast to the Orient.16 Février 2008

Main Street on Wake Island - PAAVillevu 11792 foisMy father lived on Wake Island for quite a while in the early 1950's when he worked for PanAm. Not much traffic.16 Février 2008

PAAVille Skyline - Wake Islandvu 26414 foisI would guess this in the main intersection of PAAVille on Wake Island, photographed by my father, Woody Walsh, circa 1953. He took a series of slides, and these two images were stitched together with modern software. I like the one lone soldier walking in the lower right hand corner --- he's the only sign of "traffic."16 Février 2008

PanAm Boeing Stratocruiser 377 in Honolulu, Circa 1949vu 7014 foisI did a Google search on this aircraft, N1025V. It was the first of 21 Stratocruisers delivered to PanAm (delivered on January 31, 1949). At the time it was called "Clipper America," although that doesn't seem to be the name in this photograph. (PanAm apparently had many aircraft called "Clipper America" over the years.) N1025V is now sold as a model. The real N1025V was sold to the Israeli Air Force in 1963 as a cargo plane, and last flew in March 1974.16 Février 2008

PAAVille on Wake Island -- Circa 1953vu 10863 foisMy father, Woody Walsh, took a a series of photos from (I would guess) the tower at the airport of the "skyline" of PAAVille on Wake Island. This panorama is two of the slides stitched together with modern software.16 Février 2008
