The
Flying Sub - A secondary smaller submarine [referred
to as "The Flying Fish" in publicity releases] seen on the
sci-fi adventure VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA/ABC/1964-68.
The Flying Sub (or FS-1) was housed in the atomic submarine
Seaview. It was launched by dropping through bomb-bay like doors
on the underbelly of the submarine. Once outside the Seaview,
the Flying Sub's engines increased their thrust, rocketed toward
the ocean's surface and broke through the watery depths to the
blue sky above. When
the sub concluded its mission, it dove back into the the sea and
re-docked with the Seaview. The Flying Sub as well as the
Seaview submarine were created by miniature effects experts
Howard Lydecker and L.B. Abbott.
