Flying Boats and Seaplanes Since 1910

{detailed description}Ever since the first seaplane flew in 1910, water-borne aeroplanes have exercised an appeal and fascination that are particularly their own. From the pioneering machines of Henri Fabre and Glenn Curtiss there grew up a tremendous variety of military and civil seagoing aircraft ranging from tiny float-planes that could be carried inside a submarine to huge ocean-spanning giants like the Do X and the China Clipper, and even jet fighters like the SR/A.I.
To depict them all would require a much more extensive volume, but here in this book is a representative selection of flying boats and float-planes of the past sixty years. Among them are the original Fabre Hydravion, some of the famous Schneider Trophy competitors, great names like Catalina, Walrus and Sunderland, and others which, if less universally known, all contributed their part to the evolution of what is now regrettably a dying class of aeroplane.
