"This is a story from a bygone age, recalling the most successful flying-boat airliner ever built. Designed to a specification for Imperial Airways, then Britain's national airline, it carried passengers and, more importantly, mail throughout the British Empire. In an age devoid of instant electronic communications but offering luxurious travel for the privileged few, every journey was an adventure, shared by passengers and crew. Short Brothers built 42 Empire Flying-Boats at their factory in Rochester during the late 1930s. When compared with other aircraft of the era, they were extremely large, luxurious and, even by today's standards, offered passengers handsome catering, with ample space to relax during the many airborne hours. Imperial Airways were expanding their route network to the furthest outposts of the British Empire, whilst laying down the principles of scheduled airline operation. These were challenging times for all concerned: when long-distance flights were measured in days rather than hours. This is the tale of the realization of a dream and the efforts of those who made it possible. Alas the world moved on, at a pace accelerated by the Second World War, and the flying-boat was forced from tie air routes. No more will Adventurous Empires grace the skies." - from the inner front jacket flap.

A very good second-hand copy with extra photos attached by the previous owner. - This is a story from a bygone age, recalling the most successful flying-boat airliner ever bui…lt. Designed to a specification for Imperial Airways, then Britain's national airline, it carried passengers, and more importantly, mail throughout the British Empire. Short Brothers built forty-two Empire Flying-boats at their factory in Rochester during the late 1930s. When compared with other aircraft of that era, they were extremely large and luxurious and even by today's standards passengers were handsomely catered to with ample space to exercise or relax during the many airborne hours. Imperial Airways were extending their route network to the furthest outposts of the British Empire. It was a steep learning curve for all concerned with those early pioneering flights when long-distance flights were measured in days rather than hours. This is the tale of the realisation of a dream and the efforts of those who made it possible. Alas the world moved on, at a pace accelerated by the Second World War, and the flying-boat was forced from the air routes. No more will adventurous Empires grace the skies. Size: Quarto. 256 pages.

Folio 12'' x 9''. Contains 256 pp with monochrome illustrations and photographs throughout. Fine condition book in Fine condition dust wrapper, not price c…lipped. On the 23 and 24 November 1938, Short S23 Empire flying boats left the UK for Alexandria where Australian and New Zealand mail from both flights was loaded on the Empire flying boat Calpurnia. The flight from Alexandria was to Tiberias on the sea of Galilee and from there to Lake Habbaniyah near Baghdad. On November 27, in the dark and during a sandstorm, the Calpurnia crashed on landing in Lake Ramadi (12 miles from Lake Habbaniyah) killing the four flight crew: pilot Captain Attwood, First Officer Spottiswood, Radio Operator Bayne-Rees and Flight Clerk Ubee. Two passengers and the stewardess survived. The RAF retrieved a large part of the mail from the water including 60 of the 69 mailbags for New Zealand. An attempt was made to dry the mail before it was sent to Sydney. The New Zealand mail was sent on to Auckland where it was dried further. Great efforts were made to deliver the mail and to decypher washed out handwriting. Several different cachets were applied in New Zealand: at Auckland, Christchurch and three at Wellington. The cover was posted in London and has a 23 November postmark. It would have been carried to Southampton to join the Imperial Airways flight on either 23 or 24 November. Many of the covers had the stamps washed off and some New Zealand post offices applied postage due markings which was against UPU regulations. Dust wrapper supplied in archive acetate film protection, it does not adhere to the book or to the dust wrapper. Member of the P.B.F.A. ISBN 1840371307 AEROPLANES.
