Excerpt from The Spider Web: The Romance of a Flying-Boat War Flight

There is a tang of salt in the adventures of the men who boomed out in them over the narrow waters, for they had to do with submarines and ships, and all that that implies. In their job 0' work of bombing U-boats, attacking Zeppelins, fighting enemy seaplanes, and carrying out re connaissance and convoy duties, there is as much romance as in any particular effort in the war. In the future, grown great in Size, the boats will form the winged Navy, and will carry mails and passengers over the water-routes of all the world.
