A fascinating aircraft type, the S.55 twin-hulled flying boat appears much larger at first than it really was. It was seaworthy and reliable however and made many transatlantic flights promoting the Fascist regime in Italy. Airvia Transportation Co tried the type on the Boston-New York route but this venture was short-lived. Photo by: Leslie Jones / Boston Public Library
