China Clipper Martin M-130 a transoceanic flying boat used by Pan American Airways between the world wars. It made the first commercial double crossing of the Pacific between November 22, 1935 and December 6, 1935, and regular trans-Pacific service began on October 21, 1936. In 1942, the remaining pair of M-130s were impressed for war service as U.S. Navy transports, but neither was given a Naval designation. In early 1945, shortly after the tenth anniversary of its first flight, the China Clipper was wrecked when it struck an unlit boat during a night landing.
