The year 1910 marked the first-ever flight to take off from water. At the start of World War I, seaplanes were mainly used to observe enemy ships but by World War II, aircraft were taking off and fighting from carriers at sea. Read all about early "flying boats," float planes that serve remote communities, and the low-flying seaplanes of the future. Book jacket.
