A different question about airplanes
In the flight to the USA.
The plane first flew from England to Lisbon, I think. It was a land-based plane.
The next scene shows a seaplane* (perhaps a PanAm "Clipper") landing in the USA.
Whose plane was this? Why a seaplane? Did they need to refuel in the Azores or something, making the use of a seaplane necessary?
If it landed in NY or DC, I forget, approximately WHERE did such planes taxi to after they landed -- if anyone has read or remembers (!)
Thanks.
* By seaplane, I mean one with a flat bottom and no visible wheels or landing gear. Of course some such planes, especially smaller ones, even today, have a smaller wheelset which fold into the landing surface so that the plane can land either on the water or on a land airstrip. The scene in the film was dark on my screen and I could not see any wheels.
