In this episode we explore Pan Am’s Boeing 314 Flying Boats. Then we are joined by Margaret O’Shaughnessy of our sister museum, the Foynes Flying Boat and Maritime Museum in Ireland.

Margaret will tell us all about her museum which has the only full scale replica in the world, of a Pan American Boeing 314 called the Yankee Clipper. She will also tell  us about the origins of Irish coffee and its unique connection to Pan Am history along with a conversation about Hollywood legend Maureen O’Hara and her storybook romance with Pan Am Captain Charlie Blair.
