Product Information
NEW IN PAPERBACK. The Short 'C' Class Empire flying boats were designed in 1934 to implement the Empire Air Mail Scheme. They were operated by Imperial Airways (forerunner of British Airways), QANTAS and Tasman Empire Airways, carrying letter mail throughout the British Empire and Dominions. Small numbers of passengers and freight were also carried. With privileged access to the British Airways Heritage Collection, author Brian Cassidy describes the genesis and anatomy of the Empire boats, their service career, operation and maintenance of the Empires, and the experience of travelling by flying boat in the 1930s.Product Identifiers

Describes the how and why of air travel in its finest era.
I enjoyed the information in this book because of a family connection. My godfather was Chief Inspector of Imperial Airways when the aircraft were introduced and my father was an engineer concerned with engine repair work, too. They took me to Shorts' Rochester works to see their manufacture and, later, to Hythe from where they were being operated. In 1940 my father had to choose between engine work at either Durban or South Wales, he chose Wales but later visited Durban when he retired. The book talks about the reasons for the aircraft, their heritage, operations, good and bad features etc. Considering the amount of research he had to undertake it is fascinating story of the most elegant form of air travel (apart from today's executive jets like a personalised Gulfstream).Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
