In 1927, Pan American airlines acquired its first flying boat: the twin-engined S-36 Sikorsky. President Juan Trippe preferred the versatility of these planes as they did not require suitable airfields for landing, able to touch down on any river, lagoon, or harbor. Flying boats — more commonly referred to as "Clippers" — developed rapidly over the years, and, by 1939, the massive Boeing 314 was operational: an impressive aircraft measuring 106 feet long with a wingspan of 152 feet. This limited edition print depicts a Boeing 314 — the "Dixie Clipper," the first aircraft to offer regular Transatlantic passenger service, and the plane that brought FDR to the Casablanca Conference in 1943 — docked in the south seas, as a Martin M-130 flies overhead.
Limited edition print is signed and numbered by the artist, Stan Stokes.
Print measures 16.5" wide x 11" tall.
