(1910-1999) The first commercial hovercraft both in name and design was the brainchild of the inventor Sir Christopher Cockrell. He achieved the one thing that everyone else was chasing and that was a working example of a hovering vehicle on a cushion of air. The first working example of a Hovercraft was shown in public in June 1959. The craft was called the Saunders Roe Nautical One or SRN1 for short. This item is a signed 3.5x5 card.
