This short lived contraption (introduced in service on 14th of july 1938 and retired in 1941) was designed by Major Robert Mayo, of England, has designed a composite aircraft, which consists of a small, fast, heavily loaded seaplane, the large flyingboat serving to carry the smaller one aloft to an altitude of about 10,000 feet before launching it.
Use of the flyingboat as the launching medium enables the smaller plane to be loaded to its maximum of 20,500 pounds (mail, cargo and fuel), providing a cruising rage of about 3,800 miles at 180 m.p.h., which will enable the mail carrying plane to fly non-stop from Southampton, England, to New York.
