Flying Boats  On Sale!!!

This is the definitive video series of the romance and great history of seaplanes, flying boats and float planes. Relive the golden age of the flying boats and the great Clipper Ships. Now nearly extinct, these seemingly too-big-to-fly wonders called "flying boats", pushed the limits of technology during the first half of our century. Though traditional aircraft ultimately ended their reign, these magnificent creations evoke memories of adventure unmatched by any land plane. Discover how these hybrid seaplanes conquered the oceans, served both sides during WWII and live on today as specialized firefighters. Then learn about exciting new developments that may return them to the forefront of air travel. This is an incredible collection of historic film footage, rare statistics and interviews, along with beautiful cinematography. An unbelievable value! Especially at our new lower price! Get them while you can!  (5 hours and 12 minutes on 3 DVD's.)
