Short aircraft extend the naval-aviation reference shelf

Short and the Sunderland extend the manufacturer histories into maritime-patrol aviation.

Question

Does the aircraft-reference series cover Short aircraft, including the Sunderland?

Short answer

Yes. The Short aircraft volume is on loan to a student, and the series appeared under Putnam in Britain and Naval Institute Press in the United States.

Notes

The manufacturer-history series includes a volume on Short aircraft. The Sunderland brings maritime patrol into a book discussion otherwise centered on carrier types and other aircraft makers. The copy discussed here is on loan to a student, one example of these volumes serving as research tools as well as illustrated references. British editions appeared under Putnam, while American editions used the Naval Institute Press imprint.
