Although this was a civilian S-43, it has been finished to represent an aircraft of VMJ-2, San Diego, ca. 1939 that was destroyed by fire in 1942. Built in 1937, this "Baby Clipper" was delivered to Inter-Island Airways as NC16934 in 1937 and was sold to Alaska Airlines in 1949. In June 1951 it was damaged and sank in Lake Tetlin, AK, not being recovered till 1981 when it was taken to the USMC museum at Quantico, VA

Returning from its trip to Juneau, NC16927 again called at the City Float in Ketchikan but the flying boat spent the night moored at a settlement then called Wacker City, on the west side of Ward(s) Cove. More test flights followed and larger four-engined S-42s docked exclusively in Ward Cove according to local historian Dave Kiffer. These flights were discontinued in 1940.

Returning from its trip to Juneau, NC16927 again called at the City Float in Ketchikan but the flying boat spent the night moored at a settlement then called Wacker City, on the west side of Ward(s) Cove. More test flights followed and larger four-engined S-42s docked exclusively in Ward Cove according to local historian Dave Kiffer. These flights were discontinued in 1940.

On 7 August 1938 this PAA Baby Clipper made an experimental flight to Juneau from Seattle, via Ketchikan. A landplane route to Juneau via Prince George, Canada was eventually chosen. This S-43 was later converted to twin-finned S-43B. Note the rather inconvenient access through a dorsal hatch to keep the hull watertight. Photo from: Dan Shumaker collection

This was the third S-43 for Inter Island Airways. Many sources claim that this aircraft became N326 at some point, but this is not correct (N326 was c/n 4342). This airframe was later preserved at the Pima Air & Space Museum, falsely marked as US Marines 1061. Photo from: Dan Shumaker collection
