Boeing Aircraft of Seattle, The “Honolulu Clipper” lockable crew cabin doors to prevent hi-jackings

The B-314 Clipper was made by Boeing Aircraft of Seattle. Shown here is the "Honolulu Clipper" which is being prepared for sea trials. The "Honolulu Clipper" was expedited for Pan Am as the loss of the "Hawaii Clipper" in July, 1937

left their Pacific operations short handed. The new B-314's could carry twice the load of the M-130

and as a safety measure had lockable crew cabin doors to prevent

the potential of spy hijackings.
