: It didn't occur to me until yesterday, but the Pan Am Clipper in Raiders is a Short Sunderland British WWII flying boat, not a Boeing 314 Dixie Clipper like I posted in the Indy Planes thread earlier, or Martin M130 China Clipper. Therefore we can probably assume it's meant to represent the China Clipper, which would have started flying accross the Pacific in '36, since no Sunderlands were used by Pan Am.

how come none of the german planes in the indy movies are based on real ones that flew before or during WWII? i tried for ages to figure out which kind of fighter was chasing indy and his father in last crusade, but it doesn't resemble anything i've seen by messerschmitt, heinker, or junkers, among others. and don't even remind me of the flying wing on raiders...
