The Martin P6M SeaMaster was a strategic bomber flying boat built by the US Navy in the 1950s to form a strong and reliable nuclear weapons delivery system.

After a series of accidents that led to substantial improvements and promising results, the aircraft was pitted against newer technology, having to prove its worth in the face of complex political turmoil.

If successful, the SeaMaster would become the first large aircraft designed explicitly for high subsonic speeds near sea level.
