  2. 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
