The Supermarine "Southampton" seaplane : observation or bomber
A 1926 technical report, issued by NASA's Technical Reports Server from an earlier aeronautical publication, on the Supermarine Southampton seaplane as an observation or bomber aircraft. The photographs show the finished biplane flying boat, its wooden fuselage and wing framework under construction, and a gun mount, so a designer could draw on the early-twentieth-century aircraft engineering look of exposed struts, wire bracing and hull shapes.
