	On May 22, 1953 the international FAM-14 (Foreign Air Mail) route was 
alternatively routed via Saigon, South Viet Nam and Singapore. 

        This allowed mail to travel completely round-the-world by regularly scheduled 
air mail service of the US Post Office. International FAM-14 service was provided by 
Pan American Airlines.
