설명Maia and Mercury.jpg
Imperial Airways seaplanes at Foynes, Limerick.
On the bottom is Maia, with Mercury above. These planes were made by Short Brothers, and were aimed at solving the problem of getting heavily loaded aircraft into the air with a reasonably short take-off run.
On 20 July 1938, the Irish Independent reported:
"The Mercury will carry across the Atlantic copies of tomorrow's "Irish Independent", which, if the flight proceeds as scheduled, will be on sale in New York at mid-day on Thursday. She will also carry half a ton of newspapers and pictures of the King's visit to Paris. ... The Mercury will be catapulated [sic] from the back of the mother plane, Maia, and it is hoped to make the crossing in about 12 hours [to Montreal] and to be in New York in under 20 hours."
