Beginning with races that were staged at elegant French resorts in the early part of the century, flying boats and seaplanes have played an integral part in aviation history. World War I spurred the development of these machines, and by the 1930s, flying boats and seaplanes had become pioneers in transcontinental flight. This photo-filled history recalls the role of flying boats and seaplanes in civil and military aviation history, and the enthusiasm of the engineers and pilots who are associated with their development. In addition to the golden years of hydraviation prior to World War II, author Nicolaou examines the decline of the seaplane, and its subsequent renaissance in nations that are today considered seaplane paradises. The saga is illustrated by more than 200 rare photographs uncovered in archives around the globe.

A concise history of this specialty aircraft used during World Wars I and II. During World War I, the navies of the opposing forces discovered the value of aerial reconnaissance, and many experiments were made to allow larger warships to carry one or sometimes two aircraft aboard. In the early days these were float planes that were lowered by crane into the sea and then lifted back aboard upon their return. This was a lengthy affair and when a speedy departure was necessary, time was of the essence. A new system was devised so that a powerful catapult system and a short ramp could, with the added speed of the ship, get an aircraft airborne in a fraction of the time previously required. Thus was born a highly specialised type of aircraft. This book includes all the major designs that went to war in the First and Second World Wars and includes aircraft used by all the combatants. It looks at how the aircraft evolved and how the warships were modified to accommodate the aircraft and the catapult system. The use of these fixed-wing aircraft was abandoned when the invention of the helicopter was made in the early post-WWII years.

For as long as man has been able to fly, he has been interested in taking off and landing from the water. The surfaces of lakes and bays offered smooth, long, and perfectly level areas to serve as liquid runways, and could make for a somewhat softer landing in the event of a crash. This colorful volume tells the story of the seaplane, from the earliest floats to the monsters of World War II, to the brave little bushplanes that rule remote areas of Canada, South America, and Australia. Seaplanes developed right alongside regular aircraft; in fact, the Wright brother's trailblazing efforts at Kitty Hawk were very nearly eclipsed by an almost-airworthy seaplane, Samuel Pierpont Langley's experimental float plane of 1903, which crashed despite its apparent airworthiness. But it was the Wright brothers who prevailed that same year, and it wasn't long after their first successful flight that heavier-than-air travel became an everyday reality, from the sea as well as from land. The development of the seaplane not only reflected innovations of regular aircraft, but spurred key aviation innovations for all planes. Seaplanes were key participants in many of the flight competitions of the roaring twenties, and they played a formidable role in both world wars. Today, they continue to give travelers access to seemingly impossible-to-reach locales. This lavishly illustrated volume traces the development of the seaplane over the past century with first-hand accounts from pilots and passengers, and more than one hundred full-color and archival photographs. From Langley's Aerodrome to Curtiss' Flying Boat to the de Havilland Beaver so often used by bush pilots today, Seaplanes is an informative andengaging look at the planes that are as at home in the sea as they are in the sky.
