SIKORSKY S-42 CLIPPER
Pan American Airways / 1934-1945 / Ocean Liners of the Sky
The Sikorsky S-42 was Pan American Airways’ first great flying boat, a four-engine leviathan that opened the Caribbean and South America to commercial air travel. It was called the ‘Ocean Liner of the Sky,’ and it earned the title. Designed by Igor Sikorsky and built in Stratford, Connecticut, the S-42 could carry up to 32 passengers in wicker chairs, with a galley, sleeping berths, and a smoking lounge. Its range of 1,000 miles and ability to land on water made it ideal for island-hopping routes. The S-42 set ten world records for range, payload, and altitude. It proved that flying boats were viable for long-distance commercial aviation, paving the way for the Boeing 314 and the age of the Clipper. Manufacturer Sikorsky Aircraft
