The Queen of the Sky: The Story of the Sikorsky VS-44A Flying Boat (2001)
Built in the United States in the early 1940s by Sikorsky Aircraft, the VS-44 was a large four-engine flying boat designed primarily for the transatlantic passenger market, with a capacity of 40+ passengers. Three units were produced: Excalibur, Exeter - and Excambian, "The Queen of the Sky" to its final owners Charlie Blair and his wife, actress Maureen O'Hara. The film explores aviation pioneer Igor Sikorsky and the eleven-year restoration of Excambian by volunteers at Sikorsky's Stratford plant.

Such a frustrating disappointment
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
