[...] On a alors vu apparaître des avions aux performances sans cesse évoluées et, dans ces conditions, l'hydravion, appareil lent et surtout incapable de reposer ailleurs que sur un plan d'eau, a été quelque peu délaissé; actuellement, tous ceux qui viennent d'être cités n'ont plus qu'un intérêt historique. 5, record 1, French, - plan%20d%27eau
