Item description from seller

This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articlesavailable from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Saunders-RoeSR.A/1 was a prototype flying boat fighter aircraft designed and builtby Saunders-Roe. It was tested by the Royal Air Force shortly afterWorld War II. The SR.A/1 was directly inspired by the (modest) successesexperienced by the Imperial Japanese Navy with seaplane fighters such asthe Nakajima A6M2-N (an adaptation of the Mitsubishi Zero) and theKawanishi N1K. In theory, seaplanes were ideally suited to conditions inthe Pacific theatre, and could turn any relatively calm area of coastinto an airbase. Their main disadvantage came from the way in which thebulk of their floatation gear penalised their performance compared toother fighters. Saunders-Roe realised that the new turbojet enginepresented an opportunity to overcome this drawback. Not requiringclearance for a propeller, the fuselage could sit lower in the water andutilise a flying boat-type hull. The company approached the Air Ministrywith the idea then known as the SR.44, which led to specification E.6/44and an accompanying development contract for three prototypes in May1944.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 116 pp. Englisch.…
