March 1960 brought the first DC-8-32 to Pan Am. Pan Am hedged their bet and bought a substantial fleet of DC-8s to go with the 707 fleet. Ultimately settling on the 707, Pan Am might have made better use of the various DC-8 models as time passed.
Shown on this over-length Pan Am issue is N800PA, the Jet Clipper Flying Cloud, which flew for Pan Am for only a year before sale to Panair do Brasil.
