Patrolling the North Sea in WWI is the story of Sir Austin Robinson, a young RNAS pilot who flew flying boats and floatplanes over the ocean in search of German airships and submarines. Much of the story is told in Robinson's own words taken from his letters home by his son-in-law, Robin Jeffrey, and is edited by noted historian Colin A. Owers, who provides supplementary background and photos. This personal memoir tells the human side of the story of the America flying boats whose technical development is told in the two-volume "The Fighting America Flying Boats of WWI" by the same author. The book has 170 pages, 134 photographs, and 14 color profiles.
