[PSUBS-MAILIST] [Fwd: Flying Submarine]

Hi,
In case you are interested in flying submarines. A new book is coming out soon. I checked with the publisher, Heritage Books, and currently it is at the printers. Due back in a month. 

The write up on the publishers site is:
The Flying Submarine - Bruce Reid. Is it science fiction? No! This is the true story of the invention of the world's first submersible aircraft. Developed during the Cold War era, the military potential of such a craft was invaluable, and the inventor worked tirelessly to get his flying submarine off the drawing board and into the water. Donald V. Reid, the inventor, was a high-energy person of many interests and talents, as well as a technical genius. This story is told by his son, who helped his father assemble the craft in their Asbury Park, New Jersey back yard, and who was the pilot of the Reid Flying Submarine. Photos and drawings illustrate how the sub was made, and show it being tested in the water and in flight. Don Reid gained minor celebrity status for his novel idea and appeared on the popular television programs, I've Got A Secret, To Tell The Truth, and The Johnny Carson Show. He was an aviation pioneer who was never fully recognized for his innovative contributions. Read this engaging story of invention and experimentation, and find out what ultimately became of the extraordinary Reid Flying Submarine! 2004, 5½x8½, paper, 178 pp. 
$18.50
R3136
ISBN: 0-7884-3136-6
I know Bruce has been working on this for some years. I can't recommend the book as I have not seen a draft of one. But I called the publisher and put myself on the waiting list.
