FROM THE AUTHORS INTRODUCTION: Schneider's vision of a world traversed by seaplanes and flying-boats must have seemed, in the 1920s and 1930s, very likely to be fulfilled; long ocean cruises were accomplished in these years by most of the major air powers, led by America, Italy and Britain, and the first trans-ocean commercial routes were opened up by flying-boats. But by the end of the Second World War, concrete runways of suitable length, conveniently situated, were available in most parts of the world, and the efficiency and endurance of landplanes had greatly increased. When global air transport eventually became available to all, it was the landplane that provided it. And in the field of air defence, the seaplane had long since been eclipsed by the landplane. Nevertheless the contest for the Schneider Trophy, spanning as it did 18 years in all, from 1913 to 1991, had a far wider influence on aviation than mere advancement of the seaplane form, proving to be the strongest of all peacetime incentives to aviation progress. Especially was this true in the development of power and reliability in aircraft engines and in clean aircraft design. N° de réf. du vendeur 2411220006
