Inter-Island Airways  Sikorsky S-43  N15061                (c/n  4301)

                                       

                                           Early in 1936 the airline augmented its fleet of Sikorsky S-38s with two brand new sleek S-43
                                          "miniature Clippers". In fact, Inter-Island were the launch customer for this twin engined amphibian
                                           Pan Am eventually ordered a whole fleet of them, but Inter-Island only ever had the two, which
                                           performed sterling service up to and in the early days of, WW II.   Original prints establish
                                           that the first aircraft is seen above whilst below NC15062 (c/n 4302) is being refueld.
