Vince Fazio's meticulously researched work chronicles the remarkable survival stories of the remaining Supermarine Type 236 Seagull V and Walrus aircraft, tracing their journeys from active wartime service to their precarious existence as relics of a vanishing era, weaving together technical history, personal accounts, and archival research into a compelling narrative.\n\nRooted firmly in Australian aviation and military heritage, this independently published volume presents a passionate and authoritative account of efforts to preserve these iconic machines for future generations. Fazio's writing carries the unmistakable voice of a dedicated enthusiast and historian, grounding every detail in careful documentation while never losing sight of the human stories behind the metal and rivets. For anyone with a love of historic aircraft, the RAAF, or the broader sweep of 20th-century military history, this is a rare and indispensable record — one that asks just how long a legend can endure before it is lost forever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572512919771,"sku":"2026100011488-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5865e8ce-013f-4f68-a254-41dc6650882b.png?v=1791166687","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011488-secondhand-the-last-of-a-legendary-aeroplane-a-story-of-the-supermarine-type-236-seagull-v-and-walrus-survivors","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
