SIKORSKY 53 S-43/JRS-1 AMPHIBIAN BABY CLIPPERS

Una serie dedicata ai vari tipi di aereo con abbondante materiale iconografico di grande interesse soprattutto per i modellisti.

3 S-43/JRS-1 "Baby Clippers" were produced (31 civil, 15 Navy, 2 Marine, and 5 USAAC). The book covers all users including civilian and post war users. 10 of the Navy's JRS-1s were at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, all survived the attack and one, BuNo 1063, is undergoing restoration at the Smithsonian today. Two civil S-43s have also survived, one originally owned by Howard Hughes and one at the Pima Air and Space Museum (painted as a Marine JRS-1).
