Product Description
The XPBB Sea Ranger is a prototype flying boat built for the United States Navy.
The XPBB-1, a twin-engine flying boat that made its first flight in July 1942, demonstrated good maneuverability, but production plans were canceled by the military, who feared that the production of the PBB-1 would reduce the production rate of the B-29, as land-based aircraft such as the PB4Y were now capable of long-distance flights over oceans.
Only one XPBB-1 was built, renamed the Lone Ranger, and delivered to the US Navy, where it was used for testing until 1947, after which it was decommissioned.
