Sikorsky S-36 - S-39

<...>
   Сикорский также разработал уменьшенный вариант S-38, получивший обозначение S-39. Один такой самолет проходил оценочные испытания в Авиакорпусе Армии США в течение 1932 года под обозначением Y1C-28. Его планировали использовать в качестве прибрежного патрульного и легкого транспортного.
S-39 являлся уменьшенным вариантом S-38 и был рассчитан на пять пассажиров. Он оснащался одним двигателем Pratt & Whitney Wasp Junior.
Another Sikorsky: The S.39, a smaller version of the Sikorsky Amphibians, fitted with a 300 h.p. Pratt and Whitney "Wasp Junior" and carrying pilot and four passengers. This machine has been supplied to Personal Flying Services, Ltd.
ON SAFARI - WITH A CINE CAMERA: The two Sikorski amphibians - The Spirit of Africa with giraffe markings, and Osa's Ark with zebra markings - in which Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson have been carrying out an aerial expedition in Central Africa filming animal life.
Sikorsky S-39C NC833W photographed on a visit to Springfield. This five-seat amphibian was powered by a single 300 h.p. Wasp Junior. It was certificated in 1930 and was built at Bridgeport, Connecticut by the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, a Division of the United Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation. The 52ft span S-39 cruised at 100 m.p.h. and weighed 4,000lb fully loaded. The S-39 was derived from the twin-engined S-38, a much larger amphibian that carried up to nine passengers.
