The RNZAF ordered 30 Wellingtons prior to World War II, a remarkable decision because it had no fighter aircraft at all and its combat capability was otherwise limited to obsolete biplanes such as Vildebeests. The Wellingtons started rolling off the production line just as war commenced and were passed to the RAF. NZ303 was used mainly in a training role and was struck off the RAF's charge in 1946.

The S.23 flying boats lacked the range to cross the big pond with payload but a limited route was opened between the British territory of Bermuda and New York or Baltimore. Cavalier was actually shipped to Bermuda. Suffering icing, the aircraft ditched en route from NY - Port Washington to Bermuda on 21 January 1939 and three of the 13 people on board lost their lives.

Howard Hughes bought this S-43 for his flight around the world but he changed his mind and used a Lockheed 14, NX18973, instead. As well as for pleasure flights, he later used the S-43 to train for flying the Spruce Goose, crashing it at Lake Mead in Nevada on 16 May 1943. Two people were killed, Hughes survived. At that time it wore US Army Corps of Engineers markings and spurious serial 74327. It was not s/n 42-1, which was ex NC16925. Hughes had his flying boat expensively salvaged and rebuilt and N440 still survives, owned by Kermit Weeks. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

During the 1930s and 1940s there was a New York Seaplane Airport outside the city in Port Washington, Long Island. Both Pan Am and Imperial Airways used it pending the completion of La Guardia's Marine Air Terminal. Their Sikorsky S-42 and Short Empire class flying boats didn't have enough range for transatlantic services and only proving flights were made, although a limited commercial service was started between Bermuda and New York.

A nice place to watch the aeroplanes. Detail of the same original picture as photo 419190 which shows sister ship Dryad too. Denebola was delivered a little earlier in February 1936 and both were fitted with endplate fins on the tailplane in the spring of 1937. G-ADUI to BOAC in 1940, impressed into the RAF as HK830 in Africa in 1941 and written off after a taxiing accident at Bilbeis in Egypt in 1942. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich

Nukulau Island was almost taxiing distance from the RNZAF flying boat base at Laucala Bay, which was 7km away. NZ4055 was sold in 1956 with the intention of being converted into a pleasure boat. It sat wingless on the owner's property until sold for scrap in the late 1960s. Photo from: RNZAF/Air Force Museum of New Zealand
