Merging the Pacific Clipper article into a sub-section of this article seems fair. Reverendlinux 19:29, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
This team of french bussinesmen are attempting to recover the Honolulu Clipper, search for the aircraft started feb. 15 2011. Some Russian equipment is used. Further details will be provided before the actual recovery takes place.
"At Surabaya, Captain Ford had to refuel with automobile-grade gasoline"
What's the problem with this? What's the difference to airplane fuel?
More to the point, there is an urgent need to limit detonation in aviation engines. Uncontrolled detonation can blow a jug right off an engine. In the air, it can easily be fatal, and will definitely take the engine out of the power band. Even today, AvGas is 100LL- 100 octane low lead. It's still leaded to keep down ping and detonation. It's not quite as volatile as automobile grade fuel, which is why the 314's engines near leapt off their mounts when the automotive fuel got into the engines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joe Gerardi (talk • contribs) 03:45, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

as irrelevant to the 314. If anybody wants to put it on Ford's bio page when it's created, here it is. TREKphiler hit me ♠ 11:25, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
The similarites of the short empire and the B-314? It is a an aircraft performance and size that make it similar. The short Empire was not in the same class as the B-314. Please reference the two aircrafts size and performance, point in fact, the range alone buts the B-314 in its own classJacob805 (talk) 06:22, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Your funny, but the point is you don't mention any other flying boats including those that were at least similar in size. please tell me if the short empire enjoyed the same status given the B314 then and nowJacob805 (talk) 18:11, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
I agree the sunderland is closre in proformance and size of the B-314 . I suggest using the sunderland instead of the short.Jacob805 (talk) 11:12, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
From memory, I think this aircraft may have appeared in the US films Desperate Cargo and With A Song In My Heart. The Lawless One (talk) 13:30, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
The magazine p.38 mentions that it was going to have:

Yes there was a catwalk inside the wings so mechanics could access and perform minor repairs on the engines in-flight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.53.48.219 (talk) 15:48, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
I've locked the article for a period of three days so that instead of a series of reversions with increasingly heated edit summaries, a discussion can be held on whether or not the proposed changes are productive. I will note that the 'current version' does appear to have a number of WP:PEACOCKs. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:35, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
In the "design and development" section, how about including inflation-adjusted numbers for those ticket prices. www dot usinflationcalculator dot com says $675 in 1940 US dollars would be $11,505.76 in 2015. $760 in 1940 would be $12,954.63 in 2015. $1,368 would be $23,318.34. Inflation rate is 1604.6% http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.53.48.219 (talk) 16:00, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Shouldn't there be a mention that the 314's appearance in Raiders of the Lost Ark was in error? The story was set in 1936, but the 314 didn't enter service until 1939. - Entrybreak (talk) 20:46, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Why the change in citation format? The old format was perfectly acceptable under wp:citevar, so should there be some sort of consensus to change?Nigel Ish (talk) 16:29, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
