Model 314 Clipper

Boeing · USA

The "Clipper" was a flying hotel. It featured a dining salon, a bridal suite, and separate dressing rooms. It was the only aircraft capable of the 2,100-mile Pacific jump from California to Hawaii with a full load of luxury passengers.

Legacy Fact: Its standard of luxury has arguably never been matched by any aircraft since.
