The flights across the Atlantic were a feat for pilots and passengers, although they occurred quite often and regularly in the first half of the 20th century. The journey often lasted most of the day, the machinery was not credible, and the weather conditions created stress every minute. And suddenly a plane appeared, capable of providing unprecedented comfort and safety to passengers. Even in the case of an unforeseen landing over the ocean, it guaranteed the survival of everyone on board. The secret is that it was a Boeing 314 Yankee Clipper floatplane. It was like one of the floors of a luxury hotel. Pull-out chairs, a restaurant porcelain tableware, and silverware, top-notch service. It was such a plane where James Bond could order his favorite cocktail without getting up and drink it from a crystal glass. The design of the hydroplane and the reserves of resources allowed it to stay in the air for up to a day without refueling and, in case of malfunctions, land on the water and continue its way as a huge boat. World War II changed the functionality of these aircraft and the luxury of air travel became a thing of the past. Paying tribute to this creation of American engineers, the Metal Time team created the Splashing Dreamer self-assembly kit based on the design of this glorious hydroplane.
