Airman and Seaplane. Location of events unknown. Seaplane takes off. Crowd on beach and in small boats looking at Savoia-Marchetti seaplane sitting at edge of the water; w/ workers making final preparations - in fact; it looks as if they are still building the thing. Pilot climbing into 1-piece jump-suit. Seaplane floating out from harbour on pontoons; followed by a few small boats. An odd craft; the engine is out in the open & mounted above the wings; on legs; 1 man is walking about on top of the plane. Shots from farther back of the seaplane picking up speed; then taking off.
