Gents:
I came across a wonderful, outdated, and politically incorrect book on hunting I wanted to share with you and hopefully you can find a copy on Amazon. It is written by Pan Am Airways about all the hunting destinations they will fly you to in 1968 (copyright). The title is: SAFARI--Pan Am's Guide to Hunting with Gun and Camera.

The countries listed in more or less detail include: 19 countries in Europe, 4 in the Middle East (!), 23 in Africa, 6 in the Far East, 6 in Mexico and Central America, 5 in South America, 7 in the Bahamas and Caribbean, and US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Some are far more detailed than others and include information on caliber selection, clothing, trophy care, the big 5, customs, prices (unbelievable), and the routes with Pan Am to get there. Truly a wealth of information and good reading. From today's perspective it is hard to imagine an airline advertising where they will take you hunting.
Cheers, mates.
Cal

If Pan Am had put out a 1990 edition of the book, perhaps they would still be around today! Smiler

Great find. Thanks for the heads up.
