Description: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in the rich aviation history of Miami, Florida. The image depicts the Terminal Building at Dinner Key in the Coconut Grove neighborhood, with three Pan American Airways Clipper flying boats gracefully moored in front. Two of these magnificent aircraft, Sikorsky S-40R models, are preserved in their pristine condition, while the lead position clipper, NC81V, unfortunately met its end during World War II. 3. Background: Dinner Key, located in Biscayne Bay, was a significant hub for seaplane operations in the 1930s.
