I've just been reading the book reviewed by Steve in the current mag (The Argonaut by Poluhowich) and it is quite an eye opener.
Simon Lake did so much for submarine development including build over 30 US Navy submarines up to the 1920's but he seems to have received little attention not least from modelers. I cannot recollect seeing any models of his subs anywhere. Why has Holland received so much more attention in the development of the submarine?
I just wondered why this is so? Is it difficult to obtain information on his subs (drawings etc)?
