Winston Churchill, as Prime Minister of the UK, crossed the Atlantic three times during WWII, and met with US President Franklin D. Roosevelt at Washington DC in December 1941, June 1942, and May 1943. While he is known for sailing there on at least one of the occasions, Churchill definitely flew there in the 'Clipper' type aircraft, the BOAC's Bristol in June of 1942. The Boeing 314 flying boat had been diverted from Pan Am delivery to BOAC in 1941. Another diverted 'Clipper' the BOAC's Berwick had been used to fly Churchill to the famed Casablanca meeting, with Roosevelt flying in Pan Am's Dixie Clipper, the first official Air Force One.
