Lex Anteinternet: Friday, July 27, 1923. Casper living on Tulsa Time?: 

The Federal Archives list these photos of a Martin MS-1 that the Navy was experimenting with.  The concept was to carry the biplane on a submarine, something that proved viable, and while the U.S. Navy gave up on it by World War Two the Japanese did not.

The Imperial Japanese Navy would, in turn, use submarine born monoplanes to attack the U.S. West Coast, albeit with no success.

The Alaska Aviation Museum in Anchorage Alaska, just outside of a seaplane port (and with its own nice tower for viewing the seaplanes) is a really nice museum with an impressive collection of aircraft.  Anyone in the Anchorage area who has a fondness for aircraft, or who might simply wonder about the close connection between modern Alaska and the airplane, ought to pay it a visit. Well worth seeing.

Perhaps  because of the size of this entry, which actually is a blog mirror entry on this site, it consistently takes up a whole page on the Areodrome.  I have no idea why really, but its frustrating as it looks like the last page on the blog. 

It isn't.  There are other entries after this one.  I.e., older entries.  If you enjoy this site, don't stop here!
