Boeing 314 History:
The Model 314 was developed
by Boeing and was nicknamed the
"Clipper" after the great oceangoing
sailing ships.
The Boeing 314 made its first
scheduled trans-Atlantic flight on
June 28, 1939. By th end of 1939,
Clippers were usually flying across
the Pacific. Clipper passengers
enjoyed the comfort of dressing
rooms, a dining salon that could be
turned into a lounge and a bridal
suite. Between 1938 and 1941,
Boeing built 12 Model 314s. At the
outbreak of World War II, the Clipper
was drafted into service to ferry
materials and personnel. In 1943,
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
traveled by Boeing Clipper to meet
with Winston Churchhill at the
Casablanca conference and on the
way home, President Roosevelt
celebrated his birthday in the flying
boat's dining room.
The Boeing 314 Clipper still
ranks as one of the most luxurious
airliners of all time. The giant flying
boat provided first-class service,
with hot meals, to its 40 berthed
passengers. It was the first "wide-
bodied" aircraft, with 12.5 ft
cabins.
