Overview
Original circa 1930s photograph of a Sikorsky S-39C amphibian seaplane powered by a Pratt & Whitney Wasp Jr. engine rated at approximately 400 horsepower, as identified on the verso.
The Sikorsky S-39 was a well-known light amphibian of the Golden Age of aviation, used for passenger service, survey work, exploration flights, and private transport. Its amphibious landing gear allowed it to operate from both water and land, making it particularly useful in coastal areas and remote regions.
This photograph is part of a group of aviation images associated with Al. Malone of Woodside, New York, who documented aircraft during the 1930s period. Sikorsky amphibians were commonly seen at seaplane bases and coastal airfields during this era.
Golden Age amphibian aircraft photographs represent an important period in aviation when flying boats and amphibians played a major role in early commercial and private air travel.What to Know
