Great find. I always fear the epilogue for obvious reasons, this was no exception.

Half a century spent proving “it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
I liked that. Something about a flying boat that is really special, with both nautical and aeronautical mixed together. Whenever I see and old Grumman flying boat I always go and look at it.

That was great, thanks. Passenger compartments, bunk beds and passenger lounge? Man did the Airlines change for the worse. I guess we don't die too often but those were some amazing machines and some fearless people back then.

Great 20 minutes, really enjoyed all the historic px in the background, too. Dad worked at Convair in '40's, got to watch PBY's, other flying boats and amphibians crawling out of the water at the seaplane base in San Diego(Ryans, too).
