Out of service by 1935?
Pan Am retired it's last Commodore in September 1946.
NC668 crashed on 24 August 1944 in Biscayne Bay, while operating out of Dinner Key due to taking off with locked controls.

[edit] Use during World War 2
Pan Am Airways Navigation School in Miami, Florida continued to use Commodores until at least late 1942 as training aircraft. The Royal Air Force used it to train aircrews, probably for most of the war. My father (who later flew in Halifax bombers in 78 Squadron) started his training there. Between 6 July and 11 October he clocked up 51 hours 40 minutes in NC669M and NC670M (20:25 hrs at night) with various pilots.PhilJeffries (talk) 17:42, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
