The Macchi M.9 flying boat saw Italian military service just before the end of WWI. Nine examples were sold to Poland in 1921. The M.9bis featured an enclosed cabin with two passenger seats. It found favour with the Swiss operator Frick & Co, which was founded in September 1919 and soon renamed Ad Astra Aero. Pictured here on Lake Zurich, wearing the Macchi logo, this airframe received Swiss civil reg CH-19. Another one was CH-20. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich

French WWI ace Charles Nungesser and François Coli took off from Le Bourget for a non-stop transatlantic flight to New York on 8 May 1927, but disappeared without trace in L'Oiseau Blanc (The White Bird). This was just before Lindbergh's successful crossing. The PL.8 was developed for this flight from the French navy's PL.4 reconaissance type and the plane wears naval markings. The undercarriage was jettisoned after take-off. Photo from: Bibliothèque nationale de France - Gallica

Bottom left is not the fire station - one of the trucks reads US Mail. The parked DC-3 is NC18112. On the left is Lockheed 10 NC14945, which was privately owned.

'Navy Mystery Plane'. This is the prototype of the PBY Catalina. It had just flown non-stop from Coco Solo, Panama to San Francisco in 34 hours and 45 minutes. The aircraft underwent modifications over the winter and became the XPBY-1 as the P3Y was redesignated PBY. The building in the background belongs to the old Alameda Airport, just to the east of the new Naval Air Station Alameda which opened in 1940. Photo from: San Francisco Examiner / UC Berkeley Library

A new Boeing 314, NC18603, at Pan American's Treasure Island base, wearing fleet number 17. Given the amount of people, the photo seems to have been taken during the Golden Gate International Expo which opened here on 18 February 1939. The aircraft flew to Baltimore five days later to join Pan Am's Alantic Division, and was christened Yankee Clipper by Eleanor Roosevelt in Washington, DC on 3 March.
