Against a grey sky a large flying boat crosses from left to right above a layer of cloud; four radial engines sit on the leading edge of its high wing, two fins rise from the tailplane, and short sponsons project from the deep hull below a row of cabin windows. In the mid-1930s such flying boats opened the first scheduled passenger routes across the Pacific; services across the Atlantic followed in 1939.
