The Macchi M.C. 72 was one of a series of seaplanes developed by Macchi Aeronautica. In the 1920s, Macchi focused on speed and on winning the Schneider Trophy. In 1922 the company hired aircraft designer Mario Castoldi to design high-speed aircraft. In 1926 the company won the trophy with the M.39, which attained a top speed of 396 km/h (246 ...
The first AM-22, which first got the experimental designation Navy Experimental 16-Shi Reconnaissance Seaplane and later the short designation E16A1, was completed by May 1942 and was a conventional, low-wing monoplane equipped with two floats.

R3Y-2 Tradewind refuels a record four fighters in flight, 1956. The R3Y set a transcontinental seaplane record of 403 mph (649 km/h) in 1954 by utilizing the speed of high-altitude jetstream winds. This record still stands. After service trials the aircraft were delivered to a U.S. Navy air transport squadron, VR-2, on 31 March 1956.
