On November 22, 1935, the China Clipper took flight from San Francisco. It was the first-ever plane to carry airmail across the Pacific. The huge seaplane landed in Manila a week later, completing its 8,000-mile journey across the world’s largest ocean. And it delivered more than 110,000 pieces of mail.
