The Boeing clipper is widely regarded at the summit of flying boat technology. It inaugurated the world’s first transatlantic heavier-than-air service, and carried passengers and cargo around the globe in the 1930’s and 1940’s.
Large, luxurious, and reliable — and with an astounding range of 3,500 statute miles — the B-314 made intercontinental passenger airline service a practical reality.

Yes, Atkinson is all nerded out on planes but I have to admit that I would have loved to have flown in the “Deluxe” compartment. So much more civilized than the sardine can seating the airlines subject us to today…
