"The First World War seaplane station at Fishguard Harbour,
Pembrokeshire, was in existence for barely two years and the exploits
of the men and machines who flew from here are little
known. Their biplane aircraft were little more than
timber, fabric and wire, powered by engines that were at best of
questionable reliability. Now, for the first time, the
fascinating and at times tragic story of this short lived seaplane
station has been told. Operations by Fishguard seaplanes over
the Irish Sea and South Western Approaches, and social activities
involving the airmen, are detailed in an account that will appeal to
the aviation enthusiast, historian and those with local interest
alike. This volume is the culmination of a six year
research project by the Author."
