  2. The Blohm & Voss Ha 140 was a German multi-purpose seaplane first flown in 1937. It was intended for use as a torpedo bomber or long-range reconnaissance aircraft, but did not enter production.

    Three prototypes were built and the design beat the competing Heinkel He 115. However, by then B&V did not have enough spare capacity and declined the order, which went to Heinkel instead.

  3. The Nakajima A6M2-N Rufe was a single-seat floatplane interceptor developed as a stopgap to protect remote island bases and amphibious forces while purpose-built float fighters were pending. It was essentially a Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero (Model 11) modified with a central float and wingtip stabilizer floats. destinationsjourney.com/nakaji #NakajimaA6M2NRufe #aeroplane #airplane #aviation #fighter #floatplane #Floatplane #floatplanefighter #ImperialJapaneseNavy #ImperialJapaneseNavyAirService #MitsubishiA6M2

  4. The Hall XPTBH was a prototype twin-engined seaplane, submitted to the United States Navy by the Hall Aluminum Aircraft Corporation in response to a 1934 specification for new bomber and scout aircraft. Constructed in an innovative fashion that made extensive use of aluminium, the XPTBH proved successful in flight testing, but failed to win favour with the U.S. Navy destinationsjourney.com/histor #Aviation #aeroplane #seaplane #floatplane #airplane #HallXPTBH

  5. Bloch MB.480 Floatplane
    Designed as a twin-engined torpedo-bomber/reconnaissance floatplane for the French Navy, the Bloch MB.480 first flew in June 1939. Although testing was successfully completed, the Navy had decided to use landplanes for its intended role.

  6. Seversky SEV-3 Amphibian
    First flying in 1933, the Seversky SEV-3 was a three-seat monoplane amphibian. It could either be fitted with twin amphibious floats which had main wheels fitted in the floats to allow it to operate from land, or with a fixed tailwheel undercarriage with the mainwheels enclosed in large fairings. destinationsjourney.com/histor #aeroplane #airplane #amphibian #amphibiousaircraft #aviation #Floatplane #plane #Seversky #SeverskySEV3
