MAY 18, 1922 CANADA'S USE OF SEAPLANES A Lesson':to the " Old^Country " IT has repeatedly been pointed out in FLIGHT that for some unknown and inexplicable reason the seaplane, the type of aircraft which one would naturally expect to have received a maximum of development, has been very stepmotherly treated in this country. Separated as the parts of our Empire are by leagues of ocean, it might have been taken for granted that aircraft making the sea its " aerodrome " would be the first type to come to mind in speculating on the possi bilities of linking up the Mother Country with the Colonies and Dominions. Yet, as we have already remarked, the seaplane, for lack of encouragement, is at the stage of develop ment where land machines were five or six years ago.
