The Hall PH flying boat first flew in December 1929. In 1939, an additional seven PH-3s were ordered. The Coast Guard continued operating the PH-2 and -3 until 1944. www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-m... #aviation #aeroplane #airplane #aircraft #HallPH #Flyingboat #USCoastGuard #USNavy #WW2
The Hall PH flying boat was a development of the Naval Aircraft Factory PN-11. The initial XPH-1 first flew in December 1929. The US Navy ordered nine PH-1s which equipped VP-8 from 1932. The PH-1 was replaced by the Consolidated PBY-1 Catalina in 1937. In 1936 the US Coast Guard ordered seven PH-2s. These were similar to the PH-1 but with more powerful 750 hp Wright R-1820F-51 engines. Armament was omitted on the PH-2. In 1939, an additional seven PH-3s were ordered. These added an enclosed cockpit for the pilot and re-instated the armament. The Hall flying boats were used by the Coast Guard for search and rescue duties and were fitted with specialized equipment for this role. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States entry into World War II, the remaining PHs were painted in U.S Navy Grey Green colors to replace the previous bare metal finish, armed, and used for anti-submarine patrols (particularly during the Operation Drumbeat U-boat attacks off the East coast of the United States in 1942) as well as continuing search and rescue operations. The Coast Guard continued operating the PH-2 and -3 until 1944.

The Martin P6M Seamaster was a strategic bomber flying boat intended as the US Navy’s nuclear delivery system. www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-m... #martinp6mseamaster #MartinP6M #FlyingBoat #AviationHistory #USNavy #aviation #aeroplane #airplane #aircraft
The Martin P6M Seamaster was a strategic bomber flying boat intended as the US Navy’s nuclear delivery system. Two XP6M-1 prototypes were built, with the first flying on 14 July 1955. Both were involved in accidents, resulting in a total of 9 deaths. Six YP6M-1 pre-production aircraft were ordered, with the fist flying in January 1958. These differed from the XP6M-1 by having the engines angles away from the fuselage, as it was discovered that the straight alignment of the prototypes resulted in a scorched fuselage skin. Testing of the YP6M-1 discovered that the Allison J71-A-4 turbojet was unreliable. Additionally, under heavy load, water spray was ingested into the engines, which resulted in a limiting of the sea conditions under which the aircraft could operate. Accordingly the program was cut as it was not considered possible to rectify these issues. Eight modified aircraft designated P6M-2 were ordered, incorporating a series of changes to rectify the issues identified with the YP6M-1. These included using Pratt & Whitney J75 engines, an aerial refueling probe, improved avionics, and a canopy with better visibility. However by the time the first three had flown, the navy had decided that the ballistic missile submarine was a significantly superior delivery system. As a result only three of the eight P6M-2s ordered were delivered, the the remaining five scrapped before being delivered despite being completed.

The Kawanishi H8K flying boat was an Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service flying boat of World War Two www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-m... #Aviation #KawanishiH8K #FlyingBoat #aeroplane #airplane #IJNAS #WW2 #JapaneseFlyingBoat
The Kawanishi H8K was designed as a replacement for the Kawanishi H6K, which entered service in 1938. The Imperial Japanese Navy ordered the development of a larger, longer-ranged patrol aircraft under the designation Navy Experimental 13-Shi Large-size Flying Boat. The H8K was powered by four Mitsubishi MK4Q Kasei 22 Engines giving it a maximum speed of 467 km/h (290 mph) at 5,000 m (16,000 ft). Its range was 7,152 km (4,444 miles) The aircraft’s defensive armament was formidable, consisting of five 20mm cannons and five 7.7mm machineguns, along with the capability to carry two torpedoes or 2,000 kg of bombs or depth charges. It had a crew of ten. Total Production was 167. The Allied reporting name for the Kawanishi H8K was Emily The H8K entered production in 1941 and first saw operational use on the night of 4 March 1942 in a second raid on Pearl Harbor. This mission, known as Operation K, involved two H8Ks bombing Oahu, Hawaii, but due to bad weather, the mission achieved limited success. As Oahu was outside the range of the H8Ks, they were refuelled by a submarine at French Frigate Shoals, 900km west of Hawaii.

Saunders Roe London Flying Boat
www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-m... #SaundersRoeLondon #flyingboat #RAF #RoyalAirForce #WW2 #WorldWarTwo #SecondWorldWar #aviation #aeroplane #airplane #aircraft #aviation
The Saunders Roe A.27 London was a British military biplane flying boat built by the Saunders Roe company. Only 31 were built, entering service with the Royal Air Force in 1936. Although due for replacement by the outbreak of World War II, they saw some active service pending the introduction of the ultimately unsuccessful Lerwick. The London Mk.II model equipped 201 Squadron RAF at RAF Calshot beginning in 1936, replacing Supermarine Southamptons. Others later were delivered in October 1936 to 204 Squadron RAF at RAF Mount Batten, Plymouth, also replacing Southamptons. More were delivered to the same squadron in 1937 to replace Blackburn Perths, and to 202 Squadron RAF at Kalafrana, Malta, replacing Supermarine Scapas, and 228 Squadron RAF at Pembroke Dock. At the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, Londons equipped 201 Squadron RAF, which was by now stationed at Sullom Voe in Shetland, and 202 Squadron RAF at Gibraltar, as well as 240 Squadron RAF at Invergordon, which had re-equipped with Londons in July 1939. These aircraft carried out active patrols over the North Sea and the Mediterranean. Some were fitted with a dorsal fuel tank to increase operational radius. Armament in the form of bombs, depth charges, and naval mines up to a total weight of 2,000 lb (907 kg) could be carried beneath the lower wings. Gradually, the Londons’ duties were assumed by newer aircraft such as the Lockheed Hudson, while squadrons flying Atlantic and Mediterranean patrols were re-equipped with Short Sunderlands. Some Londons were transferred to the Royal Canadian Air Force. All were withdrawn from front-line duties by the middle of 1941.
