Great! Thanks for the link. I am very interested in flying boats and the extension of transoceanic air service in the 30's and 40's. There are a couple of great threads out there and some real experts in the Lounge. Thanks for starting this, I was working some thoughts to begin a thread on flying boats to consolidate the expertise...for purely selfish reasons of course!

I'm sure most have already seen these links, but if I could submit some to the crowd, either from what I have bookmarked or that have been recommended to me:

Hopefully we can use this as a kick off to get some information, education, and discussion of the subject.

Thanks again Talbot,
