A carved totem pole stands over a green valley, dark spruce and snow-capped mountains in this oval label, with a couple of travellers taking in the view. The navy band reads Pan American World Airways and The System of the Flying Clippers, and the scene is captioned ALASKA. It belongs to Pan Am's series of illustrated destination labels. Pan American Airways flew its first scheduled service, an airmail run from Key West to Havana, in October 1927, and named its flying boats and airliners Clippers from 1931 onward. The name Pan American World Airways was in use from 1943 and became official in 1950.
