	Boeing 314 Clipper - USA
		When the Boeing 314 flying boat made its appearance, it was the largest civil aircraft in service.
		The Boeing 314 airplanes were well known for the fact that they carried Winston Churchill on his intercontinental journeys, and survived the war to be returned to the United States in 1948.
		The career of the Boeing 314s, five of which were purchased by the USAAF and the US Navy, was also a lengthy one.

		Piasecki Helicopter was acquired by Boeing in 1960, and was reorganized as Boeing's Vertol division.
		Boeing introduced a new corporate identity with completion of the merger, incorporating the Boeing logotype and a stylized version of the McDonnell Douglas symbol, which was derived from the Douglas Aircraft logo from the 1950s.
		Boeing is now focused on the newly-launched 787 as a platform of total fleet rejuvenation, which has benefited from strong sales success at the expense of Airbus' competing offerings.

	Boeing 314 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boeing 314 "Clipper" was a long-range flying boat produced by the Boeing Airplane Company between 1938 and 1941.
		The Boeing 314 was a response to Pan American's request for a flying boat with unprecedented range capability that could augment the airline's trans-Pacific Martin M-130.
		After the war several Clippers were returned to Pan American, but the type had been made obsolete by new long-range landplanes, like 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.
