This book presents the story of the giant Sikorsky VS-44 and its use in war and peace as a military and civilian transport aircraft. The Sikorsky VS-44 "flying boat" was designed by Igor Sikorsky and built in the United States in the early 1940s for trans-Atlantic flights, primarily civilian, but during the early years of World War II, it was pressed into duty for military transport. The Sikorsky VS-44 was the only plane that could fly the Atlantic, loaded, nonstop in both directions, and this book includes a table that that documents these remarkable long-range flights. This definitive book features scale drawings, 139 photos, 16 color photos, four color profiles and much more.
