The 314 Clipper represents the finest elements in the romance of flight. The pilots were true swashbuckling adventurers. All they wanted was the opportunity to fly and to explore. And the airplane! This airplane had staterooms, a drawing room, a dining room with real china and full-course meals.
The California Clipper represents, in every sense, an era gone by but it's important to recognize the pioneer spirit of both the aircraft and the people of Pan Am Airways.
