Say, what’s a great idea for a military toy? If you asked that question in 1932, you would have two hot answers: submarines and biplanes. So why not come up with some idea that combines them? How about a biplane-launching submarine!
The British tried that one. It didn’t seem to work out too well for them. Something about not closing the doors on the sub.
