Описание: HAVING LONG been fascinated by the affinities existing between air and water, and the craft that move in them, and with air-cushion vehicles and hydrofoils now heightening my interest, I thought it worth inquiring into the relationships between the two elements as influencing marine and aeromarine practice.
This book emerged, and although it deals with what is past, its content is effectively new, having lain unnoticed or unheeded while man fervidly strove ( to mount as an eagle before scudding along as a flying fish. I shared with many others a deep regret at the secession of the flying boat.
Something, I felt, was amiss or unexplained; and having always envisioned some species of craft that would rise from the water and proceed through the air at the lower levels, I was strengthened in that belief. Today there is a growing probability that in one form or another the marine 'aircraft' will return. Whether its appellation will be 'dynamic interface vehicle', 'surfaceeffect ship', 'winged hull', 'aerodynamic boat' or 'hovership' is not for the present important.
As for this book, it deals with nothing later than 1914, and I hope it will bring a recurrent tingle of incredulity to all whose blood is stirred by marine aircraft, hydroplanes and hydrofoils, air-cushion craft - all the unfamiliar and inter-related forms of rapid over-water transport that in this sixth decade of the twentieth century now enter our lives from the past.
