From the iconic de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver floatplane CF-ODA to the historic Curtiss CR-3, these magnificent flying machines have left an indelible mark in aviation history. During World War II, the Surcouf Submarine of the Free French Navy relied on floatplanes like never before. These versatile aircraft played a crucial role in reconnaissance missions and provided invaluable support to naval operations. Travel back in time to witness pioneering moments such as the Bleriot III 1906 floatplane soaring gracefully above Lac d'Enghien. This remarkable achievement paved the way for future aviators, commemorated during 100 years of RAF celebrations. Intriguing tales unfold as we remember Harry Hawker, who courageously attempted to win the prestigious Daily Mail £5000 prize by circumnavigating Britain. Unfortunately, fate had other plans when his machine tragically plummeted into Dublin's sea from a height of about 100 feet. Discover lesser-known gems like Wight Aircraft No. 2 Navyplane Pusher Seaplane and SPAD Deperdussin Monocoque floatplane that pushed boundaries with their innovative designs and engineering marvels. The Albatros W4 German single-seat floatplane fighter showcases Germany's prowess in aerial combat during turbulent times. Its sleek design and formidable capabilities made it a force to be reckoned with in battle. Floatplanes aren't just limited to historical significance; they also offer breathtaking experiences today.
