The flight used a Boeing B-314, known as the Dixie Clipper—a massive flying boat designed for long-distance flights over water. Carrying 22 passengers, the Clipper departed from Port Washington, New York, and flew to Lisbon, Portugal, making several stops along the way for refueling and rest. After several days, the Dixie Clipper successfully completed its journey, marking the first time paying passengers had flown commercially across the Atlantic.
