This channel is bliss!
Beautiful, happy people! Still healthy, clean and white Europe...
you sound like a dik
This is another cool PanAm travelogue to Dennmark and Sweden i liked are the
Scandinavian architecture how they get around the way they dress and socialize with each other in the 1950s in the Scandinavian countries
Looks like a Richard Scarry book!
27:45 little nitpick but Tromsø is widely considered to be the Paris of the North, as can be attested to by the beautiful women inhabitants that gave the city the title.
Shows Stockholm before they switched from English style left hand drive.
When flying had style.....
when the whole world had style
Truly idyllic and neutral back then
This looks more like 60s or 70s
After 1962 all international flights are moved from Bromma airport to Arlanda..so this is before 1962
look at the aircraft genius a stratocruiser or a piston prop would not be flying on pan am in the 60s or 70s
This is from early 50s. On the balcony in Norway was HRH Crown princess Martha of Norway. She died in 1954. The Oslo olympics was in 1952. Bromma airport in astockholm was still in use. The costal steamer they are on looks like it could be M/S Nordstjernen. She sank in 1954.
Ahhh???? Did you not notice the 4 prop engines on the PanAm airplane?? Jet engines airplanes dominated international travel by 60s. Not to mention the clothes are definitely 50s
@@torgeirbrandsnes1916 1952 olympics was in Helsinki not Oslo
And no Nga's !
