The Norman Thompson company built mainly flying boats before and during World War One and this is a history of the company and its products. Based at Bognor Regis in Sussex, it used the beach as its airfield for landplanes and a slipway to the sea for its flying boats. The company succumbed to outside commercial chicanery even before the war had ended, after leaving the reputations of some acclaimed pioneers in shreds. This is the definitive history of one of Britain's pioneering aircraft constructors, derived from the Norman Thompson family archives and illustrated with many previously-unpublished photographs. 100 pages, 96 photographs.
