Description

The Boeing B-314 Story: A Comprehensive History of the World's Largest Commercial Airplane The Boeing B-314, a legendary flying Clipper ship, has been the subject of much fascination for over 50 years. This book, written by historian and writer M.D. Klaás, provides a detailed account of the plane's conception, construction, testing, and operations with Pan American Airways and British Overseas Airways (B.O.A.C.). The author's extensive knowledge of the era, gained through his work on Pan Am's early flying boat era, shines through in this in-depth coverage of the B-314's history. From its multiple reasons for conception to its individual demise accounts, the book covers every stage of the B-314's life, including its christenings, inaugural operations, and established records. The history of sales to and operations with B.O.A.C. is also included, providing a comprehensive understanding of the plane's impact on the aviation industry. With 320 pages of detailed information, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of commercial aviation and the Boeing B-314.
