== Aircraft ==
The ''Philippine Clipper'' was one of three M-130 flying boats designed for Pan Am by the Glenn L. Martin Company. It was built as a trans-Pacific airliner and sold for $417,000. At the time, the M-130 was the largest aircraft built in the United States. The ''Philippine Clipper'' entered service with Pan American in 1936,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pan American Philippine Clipper Flight Orders for June 1, 1939 )〕 and inaugurated passenger service between the United States and Manila in October 1936.
During World War II, the ''Philippine Clipper'' and sister ship ''China Clipper'' were pressed into service for the Navy, though they remained crewed by Pan American personnel.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Flying Clippers at War )〕 At the time of the crash, the aircraft had logged 14,628 hours of flight time, had flown the Pacific Ocean for eight years, and had survived strafing by Japanese aircraft on Wake Island on December 8, 1941.〔
