Regrettably, many of the books about Pan Am are either out of print, "Special Order" or "Out of Print". For books that are out of print, little can be done but wait and hope they are reprinted. For "Out of Print" books, AMAZON.COM will attempt to locate copies for you for up to 6 months and notify you if they are successful and the price and condition of the book for your approval.
In addition to these books available from AMAZON.COM, the Pan Am Historical Foundation has reprinted "Pan Am's First Lady. The Diary of Betty Stettinius Trippe" and is offering it for sale. Some of these, and other books, may also be available in limited quantities from other sources such as Pan Am Aware.
