U.S. Navy P6M-2 SeaMaster- The future of Navy seaplanes that never happened- due to the Cold War

The P6M-2 SeaMaster was the future of Navy seaplanes, but unfortunately the future of seaplanes

A glimpse of a seaplane future- that never happened. The SeaMaster performed well in trials but was 'aced out" by larger capital expenditures in the new Cold War between the U.S. and U.S.S.R.
