This is the story of the Pan AM Clipper hi-jacking of 1938 by officers of the IJN.
For more info.The charge of piracy is well documented and supported by evidence transmitted from the Clipper during her final flight under American colors-Westbound, out of Guam.
An exhaustive analysis of the flying boat's last five reported positions demonstrates that her flight reports were deceptive and that her falsely reported approach to Manila was in conflict with Pan American Airways usual flight policies. Most important, the analysis clearly indicates Japanese involvement in priacy by radio-deception and suggests, not only the Clippers's destination, but her true position at the instant that her radio signals ended abruptly-on approach to an Imperial Japanese Navy seaplane base, at Ulithi.
