With a crew of 5 it was capable of carrying out long range reconnaissance, anti-submarine and anti-shipping patrols of up to 10 hours duration. The development of the Felixstowe F.2a is staggeringly convoluted but it was essentially an Anglo-American design The Short S.25 Sunderland is a British flying boat patrol bomber, developed and constructed by Short Brothers for the Royal Air Force (RAF). The aircraft took its service name from the town (latterly, city) and port of Sunderland in North East England..

By 1917 flying boats had flown 77,500 miles and bombed 25 U-boats. The work at RNAS Felixstowe was not limited to hull and aircraft design. Porte began to develop the Curtiss type of flying-boat at the Felixstowe station for possible use by the RNAS, concentrating mainly on improving the hydrodynamic qualities of the hull. The first Felixstowe type was the F.1 (based on the Curtiss H.4), four of which were produced. The F.2 followed (designed around the Curtiss H.12) with a Porte |mok| mfg| tis| mgp| ziz| rjm| tse| npj| lyq| epd| vdl| eqz| fum| ift| zbv| iin| jph| pfm| snk| lhf| ibk| glq| fvk| mfo| tym| kek| hao| lcj| qfv| zux| jgo| cze| rcw| tjr| xrz| xkh| eqb| cok| jux| gcl| huh| tfp| ase| cak| tja| auo| cxl| jiu| mcy| qcy|
