Summary: Well-written book full of a pilot's detail and insight
Comment: China Clipper: The Age of the Great Flying Boats
by Robert L. Gandt
Gandt's book is a well-written book full of detail and insight only a pilot could provide. I enjoyed his comments and antidotes on the technical details of wing loading, engine performance and tare loading. I can recommend the book to anyone with an interest in the history of the great flying boats. However, the title is a misnomer. It has only few pages on the commercial aviation conquest of the Pacific, specifically the Pan Am China Clipper.
Rating: 2
Summary: Ok but not quite on the nose
Comment: For a book titled CHINA CLIPPER, THE AGE OF THE GREAT FLYING BOATS one would expect to read about the airplanes that conquered the Pacific in the middle 30's. Not so. It took this short 170 page book 99 pages before the China Clipper flew and then only 44 pages were spent on the golden age of these flying boats in the Pacific. Nice book about flying boats so if that is your cup of tea-fine. If you expect to have an in depth book on the operation of the "China Clipper", save your money
Rating: 4
Summary: Excellent book, was worth the money spent for it.
Comment: The book was full of interesting details, not only about the China Clipper itself but about some other airlines and seaplanes like the German DO-X, etc. Interesting pictures. Brings to light unknown facts about the race that was raging on during that period between United States, Great Britain and Germany.
