In Float Planes and Flying Boats, Robert Workman goes far beyond the subjects implied by the title and covers in carefully presented detail not only the history of early naval aviation, but the detailed history of Coast Guard aviation and its continuing contributions to the defense of the United States and the safety of all its citizens.--Vice Adm. Robert F. Dunn, USN (Ret.) Workman has provided a completely fresh perspective on this period. . . . It provides not only an interesting and entertaining read, but can serve as a ready reference source as well. A book that any aviation historian would be proud to have in his collection.-- AAHS Flightline, American Aviation Historical Society
