314 model airplane |
| The
Boeing Model 314 entered transatlantic airmail service on May 20, 1939,
with passenger service commencing on June 28th. At that time the Model
314 was the largest production airliner in regular passenger service. Of
Pan American's nine Model 314/314As, four were requisitioned by Army Transport
Command and given the military designation C-98. These airplanes were little
used, however, and in November, 1942, one was returned to the airline.
The other three airplanes were transferred to the US Navy to join two acquired
direct from Pan American; the airline provided crews for the US Navy's
B-314 operations and the aircraft were partially camouflaged but operated
with civil registrations. BOAC and Pan American terminated Model 314 services
in 1946 and the surviving airplanes were sold to American charter airlines.
The Model 314A used four 1,600-hp Wright R-2600 Cyclone 14 radial piston
engines, giving the airplane a maximum speed of 193 mph at 10,000 feet,
cruising speed of 183 mph, service ceiling of 13,400 feet, and a range
of 3.500 miles.
