General Note
"The arrival and public display of the Clipper America- first of the Boeing 377-type clippers- at Miami, Florida, was an important event in the history of aviation. Christened in Washington, D.C., by Margaret Truman, daughter of then President Harry S. Truman, the aircraft was brought to Miami on March 8, 1949. It remained on display for two days, during which time thousands flocked to inspect the huge, four-engine, double-decked clipper.
