It’s criminal that none were preserved for posterity. The most beautiful flying boat ever made.

Always wondered: Why on earth wasn't even ONE of these amazing flying boats preserved??!!

People rarely realize that they're presently living in history. The concept of aviation history and aviation museums in the 30s and 40s wasn't really a thing. Good thing today that there's a lot more interest in preserving airframes. A lot of that stemmed from so many airframes being lost forever and that planes in that era were far more interesting and not homogenous designs as they are now.

There is one

There is a flying boat museum in Foynes, Ireland, and they either have one or they have a perfect reconstruction. But to answer your question - I don't know if you ahve a car, or what car you have, but when you selll it on or no longer want it, I'm going to guess it won't cross your mind that, in 100 years somone history buff will be decrying that it wasn't preserved.

I had the privilege to work for Pan Am I started in 1987 until they closed in December 4 1991

Pan Am was and is the ‘coolest’ airline in the world. I flew on Pan Am a few times from about ‘64 to ‘89.

2:13 I've been curious on the lay out of 314, so thanks for creating the 3d animation of the lay out.. 👍

There is a replica in Ireland and they have a website with pics of the interior. Check it out it's pretty cool .

How I wish I could have caught part of that Era, at least I can say that I worked for Pan American The Worlds Greatest Airline.

@saabysaabinsky2785 8 месяцев назад

Well done video!

How many of these 314's crashed? I always think it must be great flying in one but wonder how safe it really was.

@lexusdriver1963 2 месяца назад

I wonder if this flying boat ever went to where my mom and dad are from.

@pallebudde4878 Год назад

why the annoying background music....

@m.fazlurrahman5854 11 месяцев назад

Why would anyone be interested in PANAM in the year 2023? Boeing does what it does better, AIRBUS does what is does better. The final resting place of these magnificent beasts (?) is getting recycled.

Just as old technology from a bygone era is often interesting to a lot of people. It was a different time in aviation where designs were not yet as homogenized as they have been for decades. A lot of seat-of-the-pants engineering went into these aircraft. Draft rooms and slide rules. They weren't as reliable or safe and they could get lost in the clouds. But they did the best with the technology and know-how of the day. these oddball designs are what built these companies, including Boeing and the numerous aviation companies that would later consolidate into AIRBUS.
