BRITISH ENTERPRISE LARGEST FLYING BOAT.. Press Assi j/jiil jj Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, Wednesday. The largest flying boat 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 Germany’s pride, the D.O.X. The Yiekers boat resembles a monster fish, with its 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 reach of even mountainous seas.
The equipment includes restaurants, baths and sleeping berths.
