John Voss adds:
"As Ponape did not have any operational airfields post-war Langer Island was utilized for all air transportation to Ponape. While I was there a USN Civil Engineering team was also there surveying the island for an airfield. A jet runway was constructed in the harbor a few years later and Continental Air Lines began air service in the late 60's with 727's. Transocean Airlines began the replacement service with PBY's. At another later point in time the contract was turned over to PanAm and they started flying the route with "Provided" SA-16's (three) and a C-54 courtesy of the USAF via US Dept of the Interior. Note the striking similarity of the Albatross paint scheme to that of PanAm aircraft using the identical blue and white colors."
