July 9th 1938
The Short 'C' class Empire flying boat “Canopus” cover art by Howard Leigh.

Aviation magazine, which started in 1938 and was the weekly sister to the monthly “Popular Flying”. Both magazines were edited by a certain W E Johns, the creator of Biggles, and both ended during WWII.
Up until recently I thought the Short Sunderland Flying boat was a shorter version of a Sunderland Flying boat. I didn’t realise it was the manufacturer’s name – Short Brothers.
