Curtiss HS Flying Boats
On December the 18th 2003 aviation history will continue...and K. M. Molson and A. J. Shortt give us a view of next steps in the beginning of practical flight. Their book documents in words, photos and drawings this most critical time c.1911-20 in flight, flight from water. They take the reader into the Early Days and Golden Age in 130 pages.

An Important Aircraft Type but Little Information
I have been studying float aircraft and bush planes for a few years. The Curtiss HS-2L is the first bush plane used in Alaska and Canada yet little to no information is available. Over 1250 aircraft were constructed yet only one remains today. That aircraft was restored by Canada after being sunk for over 50 years. The book gives a very curseary review of the aircraft...

By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Curtiss HS Flying Boats (Profiles in Aeronautical History) (Paperback)
I have been studying float aircraft and bush planes for a few years. The Curtiss HS-2L is the first bush plane used in Alaska and Canada yet little to no information is available. Over 1250 aircraft were constructed yet only one remains today. That aircraft was restored by Canada after being sunk for over 50 years. The book gives a very curseary review of the aircraft with little of its development,capabilities, specifications, etc. It does discuss the salvage and restoration of the only aircraft. If you are desiring to read about the development and specs of this aircraft similiar to books that have been written on the Beaver, you will be disappointed. I ranked this book as a three only becuase no other books have been written on this aircraft that I am aware.
