The Sikorsky S-41 was an amphibious flying boat airliner produced in the United States in the early 1930s.^[1] Essentially a scaled-up monoplane version of the Sikorsky S-38 biplane flying boat,^[1] Pan Am operated the type on routes in the Caribbean, South America, and between Boston and Halifax.^[1] The S-41 had a parasol wing configuration, with two radial engines mounted on struts between the fuselage and the wing.^[1] The cabin was completely enclosed within the all-metal hull^[1] and could seat 15 passengers.^[2]^[3] The United States Navy purchased three examples and designated them RS-1^[3]; these were joined by two Pan Am aircraft impressed into Navy service and designated RS-5.
