One in The Archive Photographs Series. A pioneering British maritime aviation company founded in 1913, in Southampton had an illustrious 50 year history. When Reginald Mitchell joined the company in 1917, it resulted in a lineage of sea- and land-based commercial and military flying boats, and seaplane racers that ultimately lead to the creation of Spitfires and Seafires built for front-line service throughout World War II. Illustrations include over 200 photographs. As new.
