Cool!

[reggielittle25]

I want this video on my A65 phone.

[antwankinney1231]

This video is a favorite on Korea, South

[andrewfinch1066]

@antwankinney1231 Why are Koreans, South, so interested in 1930s flying boat? It's a nice piece of old technology, but I don't understand why this video would be a favorite of Koreans, South.

PanAm (Pan American World Airways) the greatest airline ever to grace the skies. What has gone wrong, for this great airline to disseappear (like so many others) ... Politics, that's what !

[carmium]

I long wondered what it might be like to cross the Pacific on one of these beauties... and then I realized what the noise from four props would have been like for all those long, long hours...

[KYLEAKAFLYBOIK]

Do you guys thing that if we could go back in time and give them the technology we have today we would be way more advanced today?

[lifeworthliving2010]

@KYLEAKAFLYBOIK yes and einstein would have used his brain to answer more questions

[MikeSnos]

Superb video.... Absolutely love the 314.... Would be great if a full (flying) reconstruction was built!

[gizmogadsby]

Will be 75th anniversary on 21 November 2010 at the Museum in Alameda- search for alameda naval air museum on google

[ay870]

and the other inauguration of first transatlantic non-stop commerical flight with Boeing 314 flying boats in 1939!

[greenseaships]

0:43 seconds- QUICK! Stop the camera before it capsizes LOL

[TV843]

Incredible time in aviation history...

[almirantenegro]

big plane !!

[whd507]

My dad flew on these when he worked for Pan Am on this route. It must have been great, as he talked about them until he passed away.

[boetje7000]

I hate the new youtube, i need f*cking embed and don't find it

[mrmakemakkara]

mahtava kone lisää tallaisia kiitos !!!

[Teflon65]

I first became aquainted with this plane, when I was reading a novel. Almost the entire novel was set on board the plane, as it was flying from England to the United States. Thanks for posting this.

[DandAinTac]

@Teflon65 That would be "Night Over Water" by Ken Follett? Good book. Great plane.

[Teflon65]

@DandAinTac Is that what it was called? The author sounds more familiar to me than the title, right now. It was a good book. The plane must have been a classic.

[doormagic]

Its "Tejo river".

Portugal played a good role during the war. It was a neutral country but always to helping the Allies.

[bernard240vdc]

i think my mom told me she flew on one of these out of Marseille back to England escorted part ways by fighter planes this at the beggining of WW2

[guReMcO]

I saw a documentary about this plane (and others) on tv a while ago. I'm in love with the 314 and the Martin 130. Beautiful planes! To bad they don't make this kind of planes anymore.

[josephgrovers]

I did a biography on boeing last year. I was so fascinated with this plane, now to see video of it, it's great.

[rickschravendeel]

Awesome.........

[WarBirdProductions]

could  copy the audio portion of you video

[OKuusava]

Great video. Do not forget that there was a stop at Horta, the Azores. I read a novel author David Beaty, romantic story placed there and got intrested of this early route.

[ericbob04]

wow! 26 and a half hours from NY to Europe. Amazing how far we've come. Thanks for the video

[xeasternxz]

thanks for another great posting and fascinating information.

[etaoinshrdlu104]

and not one left in a museum anywhere..

[barliman2001]

There is a good replica in the Flying Boat Museum at Foynes, Co. Limerick, Ireland.

[safetychoice]

I never flew in one but I was on a ship in mid-atlantic in June of 1941 when we were buzzed by one. They saw us and came down to about 500 feet and flew over us. Someone said, "Just think, by this evening they will be in New York". Everyone was awed by this miracle of modern technology.

[rockyPants4000]

Regarding the crash mentioned on the sidebar, how in the world did the pilot accidentally touch a wingtip to the water? It has to be a good 20-30 feet from that tip to the ground! You would have to be trying REAL hard to dig a tip - remember, it was a river, so the waves could not have been gigantic.

Truly monumental pilot error if that's how it happened. Sounds like he was showing off and got too slow, and too banked. Shame.

[teenonator]

Somewhere I've got photos my Dad took of the Clipper prototype dipping her wingtips into Elliot Bay, since the sponsons weren't big enough, & there's also a shot of 3 or 4 of them at Boeings' terminal at the north end of Lake Washington.

[54spiritedwill54]

Keep 'em coming, Bomberguy!

[catman351]

Hey, that's denberg2's line!

[seamaster27]

And only a twenty-six and a half hour hop to cross the pond. Bake me a cake, I'll be back for tea!

[astranine]

Wow! I love the plane! Just wish the video could have shown the inside. Thanks, Bomberguy.

[grazyarnie]

I like the plane....since I read the novel....night over waters from Ken Follett...I just would like to learn more of this fantastic plane which had a bad fate due to that insane WW2...it was used though but not in the way it was constructed...

Great constructions...like the Do X for example where meant do dy cause of the bloody times the world had to face...

[RyanShirogane]

Me too...wonderful novel...isn't it?

[hiwayhand]

You wouldn't have though World War II was so insane if you had been one of the 11-million people who were exterminated in the Nazi concentration camps.

[cuttingwoodnow]

No Boeing 314 in today. :(

[lllwindrunner]

Listen...If anyone who was ever a passenger or flight crew on the Pan Am 314 clipper ever reads this, I wish you could write me and tell me what it was like. That would be a thrill for me to read about.

[cubantoro]

Next to Lockheed's Constellation, this is the other most beautiful propeller airliner ever built. It's a shame that Boeing didn't save one of them for future generations to enjoy.

[phillyslasher]

Funny you say that. For a long time I used to think the connie was ugly, but over time, she has grown on me. She sure is beautiful.

[WindcatcherA]

B 314 Clipper is my good old lady of airplains, the most beautiful airplain I´v ever seen.

[nedmarc]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[Bomberguy]

The secret is black and white

[denberg2]

Keep 'em coming, Bomberguy!
