Check out McMinnville, OR to see the Spruce Goose !! It's huge !

There's a full size replica of a B314 at the Flying boat Museum in Foynes, Ireland.

The book is "Escape of the Pacific clipper" but it's primarily historical fiction and isn\t edited all that well. But if you're a collector...

Just got the book, can't wait to read it.

I just ordered, "The Long Way Home," by Ed Dover.

Thank you for posting that. What a fascinating story!

My copy just arrived as well. As soon as I'm done reading my current book, I'll be on it.

If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going!

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
