	Boeing 314 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boeing 34114 Clipper was a long-range flying boat produced by Boeing from 1938 to 1941.
		After the war, several Clippers were returned to Pan Am, but the type had been made obsolete by new long-range land planes such as the Douglas DC-4 and Lockheed Constellation, and by the wartime construction of a network of landing strips that gave access to nearly the entire world.
		The most distinguishing feature of the 314 is its triple tail, which Boeing designed after finding that single and double tails did not afford the aircraft enough stability to fly safely.
