Description
About this issue
Only one enemy aircraft has ever dropped bombs on mainland USA — and that aircraft was a submarine-launched E14Y1 “Glen” floatplane. This book tells the story of its design, development, and operational use.
It also includes details of earlier Japanese submarine-launched aircraft, as well as the submarines designed and used as seaplane carriers, offering broader historical context.
The work is richly illustrated with photographs, plans, and colour profiles. It also features a description and photos of the only known remnants of the E14Y1, still in existence and submerged aboard the wreck of the Akibasan Maru off Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific.
