The 1930s were the romantic years of flight. At the start of the decade, flying was considered a life-risking experience. Beginning in 1936, Pan Am began flying across the Pacific in luxurious and enormous Clippers, built by Martin and Boeing. These Clippers flew the rich and famous to exotic locations prior to war.
The "California Clipper," otherwise known as the Boeing B-314, helped bring the Pacific service to maturity. Back then, Boeing 314s cost $620,000. In today's money this is just under ten million dollars. The Boeing B-314, photographed by Clyde Sunderland, had 74 seats and could travel up to 180 mph. It is pictured here in Pearl Harbor in 1939.
