January 17th: Our Boeing B314 - The Clipper accompanied the presentation of Martin Scorseses movie "The Aviator" in Germany last week.

This movie tells the story of aviation pioneer Howard Hughes (played by Leonardo DiCaprio), the eccentric billionaire and Hollywood film mogul, famous for romancing some of the world's most beautifull women.

Offcial movie website (english) is here.

Die offizielle Filmwebsite (deutsch) finden Sie hier.

Being home at the same age of history our Boeing B314 Flying Boat was the ideal companion for this movie presentation. If it hadn't for Boeing, who knows, the innovative aircraft designer and test pilot might have constructed it himself.

More info on the presentation here!

April 1st: It was quite silent around us lately ... We apologize for that! However, this does not mean, we did not work! In fact, we finalized a lot. The Box is in print already.

Do not nail us here, please! You want the best possible product? You got it! But this takes time. To help you overcome the next few weeks: New Screenshots.
