Description
Supermarine, one of the great names in British aviation, was associated from its earliest days with flying boats and amphibians – the Channel Type and Sea Eagle saw early airline service, and the Sea Lions initiated Supermarine’s association with the international Schneider Trophy contests.
The Spitfire, arguably the world’s best-known aeroplane, owed its existence to Supermarine’s Schneider seaplane experience and the highly successful collaboration with Rolls-Royce. After the war Supermarine played a major part in the development of jet aircraft for both the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy.
This new and amended edition traces this entire development, and is illustrated with some 300 photographs and with nearly 80 general arrangement drawings which include some hitherto unpublished projects.
