Juan Trippe, 81, Dies; U.S. Aviation Pioneer, in New York Times, 4 aprile 1981. URL consultato il 23 novembre 2010.
«Juan Trippe, a pioneer in international aviation and jet passenger travel for American airlines, died yesterday in his apartment on Fifth Avenue. He was 81 years old. Mr. Trippe was a founder of Pan American World Airways, and under his direction, the airline became the first to fly across the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans, the first to put American-made jets into commercial use and the first to order the Boeing 747. Mr. Trippe and some friends from Yale started a charter service and sightseeing company on Long Island in 1923 with a handful of surplus World War I Navy planes. He went on, four years later, to lead in the creation of Pan Am.»
