Summary
| Description |
English: Foynes Flying Boat Museum. Foynes became the centre of the aviation world from 1939 to 1945. On July 9th 1939, Pan Am's luxury Flying Boat, the "Yankee Clipper" landed at Foynes. This was the first commercial passenger flight on a direct route from the USA to Europe. During the late 1930s and early 1940s, this quiet little town on the Shannon became the focal point for air traffic on the North Atlantic. Really enjoyed this museum, and going round the flying boat was excellent - flying actually looked like a good way to travel. |
