Special thanks to **Johnny L.A.** for inspiring this thread…

Seeing images of those great flying boats always sparked my imagination into high gear. What kind of adventure and romance might the passengers (and crew!) be in for? I doubt that the reality was as idyllic as the iconography, but it still must have been one hell of an adventure.
