All Early and Interwar Flying Boats

Flying boats of the First World War and the 1920s, built for the first long sea flights and for naval patrol before the large flying boats of the 1930s. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the aircraft a flying boat of the First World War or of the 1920s. It excludes the large flying boats of the later 1930s and the Second World War. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.
