Pan Am Clipper: 1935

My Dad and his parents visited Florida in 1935 and they snapped this picture of the famous Pan Am "Clipper" flying boat. I think this is the most "historical" photo I found in my Grandpa's many pictures! View full size.

S-42

This is a Sikorsky S-42, probably either NC-823M, which originally was the West Indian Clipper and then renamed the Pan American Clipper, or the Brazilian Clipper, NC-822M. The first S-42 went into service in August 1934 on the Miami-Rio route. Three were built, followed by four S-42As and three S-42Bs. The last four survivors were scrapped in 1946.
