Latecoere 38-0 flying boat (French) : a long-range sesquiplane for carrying mail
This is a 1931 NACA aircraft circular issued by the NASA Technical Reports Server describing the Latécoère 38 flying boat, a French long-range sesquiplane built to carry mail. The record names no maker or audience beyond the NACA technical readership. The pictures show photographs of the seaplane on water, a plan view with a scale bar, and fine-line drawings of hull structure with bulkheads and a keel. A designer could take the clean technical line work and the exact diagrammatic labelling style of 1930s aviation reports.
