What was the best Flying boat in WWII?

[cheddar cheese]

No no best seaplane Fiat RS.14.

STOP PRESS! I found an Italian Flying Boat: The CANT Z.501.

 

[mosquitoman]

It looks ugly compared to the Shagbat though

 

[cheddar cheese]

The what?

 

[mosquitoman]

Supermarine Walrus, it's nickname was the Shagbat for some reason

 

[cheddar cheese]

Thats cheek, the Walrus is one of the most foul looking planes ever to hobble in to the skies

 

[mosquitoman]

Compared to that CANT monstrosity, it looks like a Spitfire

i like the looks of the walrus........

 

[cheddar cheese]

Ok, the CANT isnt great but theres nothing really bad about it - To be honest I dont really think there are any good looking flying boats.
