What Wikipedia says

The Sikorsky S-42 was a commercial flying boat designed and built by Sikorsky Aircraft to meet requirements for a long-range flying boat laid out by Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) in 1931. The design featured wing flaps, variable-pitch propellers, and a full-length hull that supported the tail directly.
