Hi Everyone
Im going to build the Boeing Clipper in her guise as one of the three 1940-41 build 314A's, delivered by Pan Am to Britain for urgent war service.
Joining BOAC they became known as "Berwick" Im building her, "Bangor" and "Bristol". They operated throughout the war flying regular services between Baltimore and Poole. "Berwick" was the aircraft which flew Sir Winston Churchill back from the USA, interestingly none of the Clippers was ever damaged by enemy fire.
During a total of six and a half years of flying the three BOAC Clippers had flown over 4 million miles and made 596 Atlantic crossings |
