Sikorsky S-38 Amphibian Seaplane- The pilot’s seat in the S-38, Models ranged from Rolls Royce to Pick-Up truck

The pilot's seat in the S-38. A nice array of

instruments in the roomy cockpit- not much

more complicated than a modern automobile.

The wheel could be shifted over to the co-pilot's side while the pilot stepped back to the lounge for a chat with the passengers. Sikorsky had many model variations available for the passenger area- from super luxurious to basic utilitarian explorer needs. Rolls Royce to Pick-Up truck. This is why, despite the Great Depression era, the S-38 was an extremely well selling amphibious flying boat (Sikorsky even had a great sounding model name trademarked for it- "The Amphibion").
