- It is unclear if this film was produced specifically for Pan Am (as a BEA flight is also shown in a short clip), however, the majority of footage covers several flight crews, aircraft, and operations of Pan American. This is a great look at Pan Am's Internal German Service (IGS) in the late 1960s and 1970. The IGS had thousands of German employees and a number of U.S. flight crews from 1954 to 1990. With German re-unification in 1989, along with Pan Am's dire financial situation, the operation was sold to Lufthansa in 1990.
Special thanks to Steven K. Roberts for sharing this rare film with the Pan Am Museum. Please check out his website, microship.com.
Steven acquired a rusty old 16mm film can with no label, bound for the trash, that contained a treasure... this rare 20-minute movie featuring Pan Am, circa 1970. He digitized it at 2K without sound in 2020 and got beautiful results. The detailed "Jet Set" imagery from 50 years ago is marvelous. In June 2022, he re-scanned the film to capture the optical soundtrack, used AEOlight at 24 FPS to extract a WAV, then manually synchronized audio and video files in an editor.
The Pan Am Museum thanks Steven for not only saving and restoring this film, but sharing it with us so we can share with the worldwide Pan Am community. We are currently working on an English dubbed version.

Wonderful video, brings back memories of the glorious IGS days
We all miss Pan Am. Greetings from West-Berlin
This couldn’t be more entertaining and a great look at a specific era and place.
Great Video! Thank you!
Fantastic video, thank you!
Olen, your father was well recognised and respected by Berliners. In certain respects he was more German than many Germans. He was genuine and outspoken. Jack had a lot of funny habits including the way he played golf. We’re are you living nowadays? Tony and I moved to the U.K. in 1995. Tony passed away in 1999, he was only 76 years old.
At the end you can hear a little bit of a great theme. It is the John Shakespeare Orchestra "Fade Out" (1969). It is on my channel in a video "Tri-State Trains"
Fun fact - that exhaust you see is actually tobacco smoke being vented from the smoking section of the plane.
lol
And people will believe you
"Wann hast du angefangen Berlin anzufliegen"
"Das war 1945 ... "
outch. lol
Und heutzutage Tempelhof und Tegel zu(((
Autsch.
The past surely was full of fog, soot, and with a lot less saturated colours.
At 16:52 Flight Attendants drinking in uniform OMG
Hope will be subtitled in English, one day?
I’m so glad that Pan Am and other western airlines flew the Intra German service. In light of what Germany did to Europe. And as part of the post-war agreement. The western German carrier, Lufthansa, was forbidden to fly into West Berlin. Good riddance. They didn’t deserve to have that destination for decades.
I feel so much better about myself and the world after seeing PanAm has added a rainbow flag around its former logo.
It’s pride month. It’s innocuous and inclusive. Chill out.
Ironic..I worked for PAA...there were many very nice normal gays there...long before it was the "flavor of the month"...
Nobody blinked an eye...
BUT....
for them to be portrayed as an oppressed class of ARCHANGELS is my issue...
I worked in airlines, hotels, later restaurants...NEVER saw any discrimination against gays...AGAINST WOMEN..YES..NOT GAYS
But two of them DID RAPE A STRAIGHT GUY ON AN INTERLINE TRIP TO JAMAICA...who was never the same...
JUST STOP WITH THE SPECIAL INTERESTS..
Every group deserves EQUAL TREATMENT....
NOT
SPECIAL TREATMENT
It's Pride month ....Lots to be proud of...as Hector Adler once said: "Be proud of Pan Am and be proud of yourselves!" Fitting ...no?
