Boeing Flying Boat (seaplanes or float-planes are a lot smaller) Boeing 314 - for 'Pan Am' they would be Clippers I guess. www.aviation-history.com/boeing/314.html -- Last edit: 2007-02-03 10:54:49 |

This is a rare sight! It is the Martin Model 156C, built in 1937 and first registered as NX-19167. Martin had previously built three Model 130 for Pan Am, named 'Hawaiian Clipper' (March 1936, NC-14714), 'Philippine Clipper' (November 1935, NC-14715), and 'China Clipper' (October 1935, NC-14716). Martin designed the Model 156 as a bigger version of the Model 130 aimed to be sold in numbers to Pan Am (but the Boeing 314 was bought). It was the same length but had a wider wingspan, twin tailfins, and more powerful engines. Only one was built and subsequently sold to the USSR in 1938. The Soviets paid a good price for the 'Soviet Clipper', as it was named, and also paid for engineering specs and a license agreement. They never actually built the machine themselves, but they used the 'Soviet Clipper' over the Soviet Far East until 1944, when it was finally scrapped. |
