The S-40 was the original Clipper. I think calling the S-42 Clipper is redundant.Bollar 22:37, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)

There does not seem to be an entry for the S-40 yet. Since this is a unique entry I believe it would make sense to include the historic "Clipper" nicknames for the S-42.

Voila, there's now a Sikorsky S-40 page. Certainly list of all Clippers owned by PA would be cool, but I don't know how to access that without plagarising a copyrighted list. Bollar 01:40, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Sikorsky S-42 was the first real transoceanic flying boat- citation required

A source for this statement is needed. Other transoceanic flying boats include notables such as the Savoia Marchetti S.55, which had completed transatlantic flights years before the S-42.

"first real transoceanic flying boat" needs elaboration or citation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.169.110.1 (talk) 08:27, 11 April 2007 (UTC).
