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 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.
Value: $50.
