Piaggio P.136
From PlaneSpottingWorld, for aviation fans everywhere
The Piaggio P.136 was an Italian twin-engine amphibian flying-boat, with an all-metal hull, and retractable landing gear.
The prototype first flew in late 1948, and completed certification tests in spring 1949. The Italian air force contracted 14 P.136s for coastal patrol and air-sea rescue. The aircraft was marketed in the United States as the Royal Gull, by Tracker Aircraft Corporation. Tracker received three aircraft ,and components for another 29, but they also built a few on their own, under license.
