Half boat, half aeroplane, taking off in a thrilling tumult of
spray, the flying boat was the journey of a lifetime, Imperial
Airways' legendary Empire boats flying up the Nile in nightly hops
and alighting on lakes and in harbours all the way down to South
Africa. But in 1939 the Empire boat Corsair came down in fog on a
tiny river in the Belgian Congo and, through an epic salvage
operation, gave its name to a new village in an obscure backwater
of Central Africa. The Flying Boat That Fell to Earth, re-published
with a new Afterword, tells the story of this amazing adventure,
and seeks out, from Alaska to the Bahamas, the very last places on
earth where it was still possible to catch a flying boat.
