"Detail Specification for Pan American Long Range Air Mail Flying Boat Martin Model 130." GLM Spec #17, Baltimore, February 23,1932.

The document has annotations throughout in a contemporary hand. Rare. No copies located in WorldCat. [++] VG condition.

[++] Bound in a metal-clasp heavier paper wrapper, in a Glenn L. Martin portfolio. I assume that this had a very limited distribution,thinking that this was circulated much beyond GLM Co and Pan American. [++] This is signed by the VP and chief engineer at GLM, Lessiter C.Milburn (who was one of the first 23 Fellows of the Institute Aeronautical Sciences, 1932, along with such headliners as Lymann Briggs, W.

[++] The Martin M-130 was a commercial flying boat designed and built in 1935 by the Glenn L. Martin Company in Baltimore, Maryland, for Pan American Airways. Three were built: the China Clipper, the Philippine Clipper and the Hawaii Clipper. Martin named them the Martin Ocean Transports, but to the public they were the "China Clippers", a name that became a generic term for Pan Am's large flying boats the Martin M-130, Sikorsky S-42, and Boeing 314. --Wikipedia.
