The Forgotten Americans: Aerial Combat over the North Sea and English Channel - Colin Owers
As a nice complement to the film on the first US Naval aviators, Colin Owers, provided an excellent presentation on the use of Curtis flying boats in British operations from the start of the war. We were guided through the various models of aircraft, often produced in small numbers. All of this, proceeded the entry of the US into the war.
Humorous note: At one point the British were attempting to christen a new plane. When a British flag could not be located for the ceremony, they found a British postage stamp to stand it for the flag.
