Sinopsis

"Seaplane History" chronicles the fascinating evolution of water-capable aircraft from the early 20th century to the present day, revealing how these versatile machines revolutionized maritime operations, exploration, and warfare.Beginning with Glenn Curtiss's pioneering floatplane experiments in 1911, the book traces the remarkable journey from primitive wooden frames to sophisticated military patrol aircraft, examining three crucial developmental phases spanning over a century of aviation innovation. The narrative weaves together technical advancement and historical significance, highlighting how seaplanes bridged critical maritime gaps during both World Wars and served as essential platforms for anti-submarine warfare and search-and-rescue operations.Through detailed analysis of military archives, engineering documents, and pilot accounts, readers gain insight into the unique challenges of water-based aviation and the ingenious solutions that made seaplanes vital tools for long-distance transportation before conventional airports became widespread. Structured chronologically across three major sections, the book explores everything from early technical innovations and military applications to modern specialized roles in firefighting and remote access transportation.What sets this work apart is its comprehensive approach, combining detailed technical specifications with firsthand accounts and recently declassified documents, making it an invaluable resource for military historians, aviation enthusiasts, and engineering professionals alike. The book concludes by examining contemporary seaplane developments and their potential future roles in maritime operations and disaster response.

    Along California's coastline, the Pacific Ocean is rising and pressing in, imperiling both wildlife and the maritime towns and cities that millions of people call home. In California Against the Sea, Los Angeles Times coastal reporter Rosanna Xia asks: As climate chaos threatens the places we love so fiercely, will we finally grasp our collective capacity for change? 
     
     
     
    Xia, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, investigates the impacts of engineered landscapes, the market pressures of development, and the ecological activism and political scrimmages that have carved our contemporary coastline—and foretell even greater changes to our shores. From the beaches of the Mexican border up to the sheer-cliffed North Coast, the voices of Indigenous leaders, community activists, small-town mayors, urban engineers, and environmental scientists commingle. Together, they chronicle the challenges and urgency of forging a climate-wise future. Xia's investigation takes us to Imperial Beach, Los Angeles, Pacifica, Marin City, San Francisco, and beyond, weighing the rivaling arguments, agreements, compromises, and visions governing the State of California's commitment to a coast for all. Through graceful reportage, she charts how the decisions we make today will determine where we go tomorrow: headlong into natural disaster, or toward an equitable refashioning of coastal stewardship.
