The Boeing 314 Clipper was built in 1938 for Pan Am Airways and British Overseas Airways.

The Boeing 314 Clipper flew nonstop from California to Hong Kong and Honolulu (called the "Honolulu Clipper"), and also nonstop from the US to the UK and to Portugal ("Yankee Clipper").

[Model was built for the 1930's Competition by @Fishbowl1121, but I believe it has too many parts.]

Mobile-friendly. Sea launch, very easy to fly and land. Engines are a bit souped-up, which just make the water takeoffs & landings much more fun!
