BRITISH VEiSSEL TO ECLIPSE GIANT GERMAN d.o.x. WILL RIDE HEAVIEST SEAS
— By Telegraph — Copyrlght)
Rec. Jah. 13, 7.0 p.m. LONDON, Tuesday. The largest flying bcat in the world is being built at the Vickers Factory to the order of the Air Ministry. It is a six-engined wonder and eclipses the German pride, the D.O.X. The Vickers boat resembles a moster fish, with the tail high up in the air, tapering to an enormous belly, and ending in a huge blunt nose, which is also in the air. Only the belly will be in the water, enabling the air liner to ride the heaviest waves. The engines will be out of the reach of even mounta'nous seas. The equipment includes a restaurant, baths and sleeping berths.
