Flying Boats and Seaplanes

Flying Boats and Seaplanes in this atlas's Off-Road and Amphibious Vehicles category, aeroplanes built to start and end a flight on water, either as flying boats with a hulled fuselage or as floatplanes on pontoons. Belongs here: a flying boat, a floatplane or a seaplane. Does not belong here: a land aeroplane, gathered under Fixed-Wing Aircraft. It sits within Amphibious, in the Off-Road and Amphibious Vehicles category, and holds the individual vehicles of this kind, with their make, model, generation and model year pages where the atlas has minted them.
