Based on extensive research into the Coast Guard's aviation heritage, Workman's balanced account of the early years of naval aviation credits the Coast Guardsmen with important contributions to the combined efforts of the sea services, highlighting their creativity, skill, and determination. Workman pays particular attention to the development of the float plane and flying boat, and examines why the latter was considered exceptionally seaworthy and reliable.
