This original painting was use as an illustration for the popular magazine article on the Pan Am Clipper Ship era and it historic flight. This painting is Huge at 40X60 inches, painted in a mix-media of 250 layers. It took 8 months of labor to complete.

Pan Am Boeing model 314, was largest of the flying boats of the pre World War Era. It was a featured aviation marvel at the 1939 World’s Fair is New York and Treasure Island in San Francisco, California.

The last great flight of the Pacific Clipper’s. It is December 7^th, 1941, just hours before the attack on Pear Harbor. This flight is heading west, and was caught in the conflict. Because of attacks on all of the Pan Am facilities in Wake, Guam and the Philippians, this flight continued west and completed the flight by circum-navigating the globe! With the destruction of the Pan Am Pacific infrastructure and the out break of World War II, this was the end of the Golden Age of Aviation, and the great Pan Am flying boats. None of the 12 Model 314 built survive today. This painting depicts both the marvel of aviation, that these Pam Am clippers represented and the forbidding and pending doom of the great conflicts to come. These planes finished their service hauling the “brass” in shuttle flights as well and President Roosevelt and Churchill during the war. Spent and run out, the planes were scraped out within a few years after the war.
