| Caption | The Boeing 314 Clipper was a long-range flying boat produced by the Boeing Airplane Company between 1938 and 1941. Here, the Boeing Clipper 314 sits afloat in the water in front of a launching dock. The massive seventy passenger Clipper had a wing span of 152 feet and was the world's largest passenger aircraft at the time. Only 12 Clippers were ever produced, with the first 6 commissioned by Pan-American Airlines for use on its transoceanic routes. |
