    Condizione: New. Hardback 240 pages with 249 black and white illustrationsPublished Price £25 The Supermarine Southampton was the first of R. J. Mitchell's successful flying-boat designs and the first developed for the RAF after the First World War. Produced from 1924 to 1934 and entering service in 1925, it became one of the most successful inter-war flying boats. Based on the experimental Supermarine Swan, its promise prompted an initial order for six straight from the drawing board, followed by twelve more in 1925. Serving in reconnaissance and patrol roles, the Southampton became renowned for long-distance flights, notably the 1927 Far East Flight. Export sales to Argentina, Turkey and Japan further expanded Supermarine's business. All 83 aircraft built are chronicled through this exceptional collection of archive photographs, many previously unpublished. Book.

    Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The Supermarine Southampton was the first in a series of successful flying boats designed by Supermarine's R.J. Mitchell and was the first one to be designed for the RAF after the First World War. Produced between 1924 and 1934 it entered into RAF service in 1925 and became the second longest serving (behind the Short Sunderland) and one of the most successful of the inter-war flying boats. In an unusual move for the times, the Air Ministry ordered six Southamptons straight from the drawing board as the design had been based on the success of the experimental Supermarine Swan amphibious aircraft. So successful was the aircraft that a further twelve were ordered in July 1925. The Southampton was a hugely successful aircraft for the RAF, the aircraft's main sponsor, and was used for reconnaissance duties and as a patrol aircraft. It became best known for a series of publicly lauded long-distance flights, the intention of which was partly 'flag waving' and partly for gaining valuable experience of flying boats in remote waters. The 1927 Far East Flight became known for the Southampton's display of its prodigious range and reliability. The Southampton was a very successful series of flying boats with sales also being made to Argentina, Turkey and Japan almost doubling Supermarine's business in just a few years. A total of eighty-three of all types were built, all of which are revealed in this unrivalled collection of archive images, the majority of which, having been drawn from private collections, have not been published before. AUTHOR: Coming from a background in BBC television rights and management Jo Hillman entered into the world of aviation via a specialist distribution company and involvement in the filming of air shows. A keen, if amateur, historian she is now the Archive Manager for A Flying History and spends much of her time researching, marketing and developing the Peter Keating and John Stroud archives and the A Flying History brand. Colin Higgs has more than thirty years of experience in the publishing, broadcast and home entertainment industries and for much of that time has co-produced, written and researched aviation documentaries together with Bruce Vigar of Leading Edge TV. Colin's business, A Flying History, was created to make accessible the unique and substantial Peter Keating and John Stroud aviation image collections. 249 b/w illustrations A highly-illustrated image-based history of the Supermarine Southampton with a superb range of rare and previously unseen photographs from a variety of sources. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

    Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Supermarine Southampton was the first in a series of successful flying boats designed by Supermarine's R.J. Mitchell and was the first one to be designed for the RAF after the First World War. Produced between 1924 and 1934 it entered into RAF service in 1925 and became the second longest serving (behind the Short Sunderland) and one of the most successful of the inter-war flying boats.In an unusual move for the times, the Air Ministry ordered six Southamptons straight from the drawing board as the design had been based on the success of the experimental Supermarine Swan amphibious aircraft. So successful was the aircraft that a further twelve were ordered in July 1925.The Southampton was a hugely successful aircraft for the RAF, the aircraft's main sponsor, and was used for reconnaissance duties and as a patrol aircraft. It became best known for a series of publicly lauded long-distance flights, the intention of which was partly 'flag waving' and partly for gaining valuable experience of flying boats in remote waters. The 1927 Far East Flight became known for the Southampton's display of its prodigious range and reliability.The Southampton was a very successful series of flying boats with sales also being made to Argentina, Turkey and Japan almost doubling Supermarine's business in just a few years. A total of eighty-three of all types were built, all of which are revealed in this unrivaled collection of archive images, the majority of which, having been drawn from private collections, have not been published before.
