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.

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 https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/hall-xptbh/ #Aviation #aeroplane #seaplane #floatplane #airplane #HallXPTBH

The Martin P4M Mercator was a maritime reconnaissance aircraft built by the Glenn L. Martin Company. The Mercator was an unsuccessful contender for a United States Navy requirement for a long-range maritime patrol bomber, with the Lockheed P2V Neptune chosen instead. It saw a limited life as a long-range electronic reconnaissance aircraft.https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/martin-p4m-mercator-maritime-aircraft/ #MartinP4MMercator #MartinP4M #Mercator #MaritimePatrol #Aviation #USN #aeroplane #airplane #AviationHistory #ColdWar

Bloch MB.177 French Bomber
To enable the use of Hispano-Suiza 12Y31 engines on the MB.174 airframe, the MB.177 incorporated redesigned engine mounts. The engines proved to be underpowered. The sole example was captured by German forces and taken to Rechlin for evaluation. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/bloch-mb-176-french-bomber/ #ReconnaissanceBomber #aerialwarfare #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #ArmeeDeLair #aviation #BlochMB177 #bomber #FrenchAirForce #Military #SecondWorldWar #warfare #WorldWartwo #WW2 #WWII -
