Description
For a brief period of forty years, the flying boat and its smaller counterpart, the float plane, were a familiar part of the flying scene. Without the need for runways, the great flying boats pioneered the air routes of the world in peace, and roved the oceans protecting shipping in time of war. Maurice Allward, himself a pioneer of this era, tells the story with great enthusiasm and illustrates the text with many rare photographs.
