Pan Am Styrofoam Coffee Cup, circa 1990
01
Artifact Overview
For much of the 20th century, Pan American World Airways exemplified innovation and glamour in air travel. Founded in 1927, the company pioneered trans-oceanic passenger service in the 1930s and the use of wide-body jumbo jets in the 1970s. But rising fuel costs and difficulty establishing domestic U.S. routes strained the company in the 1980s. Pan Am ended operations in 1991.
