Juan Trippe
Juan Trippe (born June 27, 1899, April 3, 1981), American pioneer of air transport, founder of Pan Am Air.
He was the great-great-great-grandfather of John Trippe, captain of the USS Vixen (a berth in the First Berber War). In 1921 he graduated from Yale University and started working on Wall Street. He quickly became bored with work and began air transport, creating the 1926 Colonial Air Transport (initially for passenger transport only, and 1929 for passenger transport). Trippe's other investment was the creation of the Florida-based Aviation Corporation of the Americas, which serves the Caribbean, which has become the nucleus of the Pan American Airways line. In the 1930s Trippe also purchased Chinese CNAC. Trippe led the board of directors of Pan Am from the line up until 1968. During his tenure there was a dynamic development of the line as one of the most important air carriers in the world, and the Pan Am fleet included Boeing 707 (1958), operating flights from New York to Paris . In 1965, Mr. Am was the first airline to purchase the Boeing 747. After retiring from management positions, Trippe continued to attend Board meetings.
In Aviator 2004, his role was in Alec Baldwin Bibliography
