Best Atlantic recon aircraft

Yeah, quite a good replacement for the Fw 200's, the Ju 290...although they were only doing the Atlantic thing for a year or so, I believe - Ended-up being a transporter...I would have to give my endorsement to the B.24 Liberators, they have a distinguished history in the Atlantic ...and the Hudson's did too...Also, the Sunderland was a really great aircraft, it's pedigree in Flying Boats was excellent, even after the War...We had them down here in the Pacific, a popular ' Inter-islander '...
 
don't think we can catergorize the Lib as a recon plane gents. A bomber yes and a good one of U-boots as well as the Sunderland.

The Ju-52/3m looks strange with the floats, I thought the same for the C-47 with floats.
 
I didn't say it looked bad, I said it looks strange. Just to clear things up...
