Truly historical, and meaningful to us from College Point. I worked at Edo for four years during the 1960's. thank you so much for sharing.

My grandfather, Bill Burtner was a supervisor at EDO, and he may be in this video. My father, Bob Kaufman also worked there before joining the Navy. It's also possible that my mother, Ursula Burtner worked there during the war. Thanks for this historic look at my hometown and my family's history.

Brilliant!

I remember seeing a DC3 on floats on a lake near Bangor, Maine about 15 years ago - VERY IMPRESSIVE!

Wonderful Video! I used to go to EDO to service their IBM and Kodak Copiers in the 80 and early 90. I also serviced Copiers for Grumann.

Great footage, can I get permission to post this on the Seaplane Pilots Assn. website? I have about a total of one hour of the DC-3 on floats on the site for far. or go to YouTube and type in: quam12972 in the search window. Many seaplane video will pop up. Dave SPA 1

@quam12972 No problem, please go ahead and post. Considering that this film had been unseen for 60+ years, it deserves all the exposure it can get. Thanks!

Very Cool Videos! i have never seen any thing like this before :)

But! i think you should have other music, like more relaxing music, then you would have more viewers to :)

A wonderful & historic piece of film of a beautiful aircraft, and what a fantastic innovation the floats were.

This is an incredibly interesting and respectful presentation of rare archival footage of an amazing sea float adaptation of a WW II plane. This clean and sharp video and its symphonic accompaniment was an unexpected gift to round out Memorial Day 2010. Many thanks.
