Martin M-130 China Clipper History:
The Martin M-130 is a rare but influential plane that was
designed and built by the Glenn L. Martin Company.
The M-130's maiden flight was on December 30, 1934. On
November 22, 1935, the China Clipper, piloted by Captain Edwin C.
Musick and First Officer R.O.D. Sullivan flew the first
trans-Pacific airmail route. Their range and capacity made
them prime candidates to fulfill the over ocean hauling needs of the
military during World War. In 1942, the two remaining planes
were impressed into transport roles for the U Navy. In 1943, a
crash occurred when the Phlippine Clipper hit the side of a mountain
as it descended to land in San Francisco and the final M-130
casualty was the China Clipper NC14716, after it was wrecked at Port
of Spain.
The M-30 is an all-metal flying boat employing streamlined
aerodynamics and powerful engines to achieve Pan Am's specifications
for range and payload.
