The Sikorsky S-38 was a versatile and innovative amphibious aircraft that made history in the late 1920s and early 1930s. It was designed by Igor Sikorsky, a pioneer of aviation who also invented the helicopter. The S-38 had two engines mounted on a sesquiplane wing configuration, which gave it good performance and stability. The aircraft could carry up to ten passengers or cargo, and could land and take off from water or land. It was used by various civil and military operators, including Pan American Airways, which flew the S-38 on many of its first international routes.
The S-38 also served as a personal transport for celebrities, explorers, and adventurers, such as Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, and Martin Johnson. The S-38 was one of Sikorsky’s most successful designs, with 101 units built and sold. It was also one of the most distinctive aircraft of its time, with its twin-boom tail and colorful paint schemes. The S-38 was a remarkable achievement of engineering and design that opened new horizons for aviation.
