The Martin P6M SeaMaster, built by the Glenn L. Martin Company, was a 1950s strategic bomber flying boat for the United States Navy that almost entered service; production aircraft had been built and Navy crews were undergoing operational conversion, with a service entry about six months off, when the program was cancelled on August 21, 1959. Envisioned as a way to give the Navy a strategic nuclear force, the SeaMaster was eclipsed by the Polaris submarine launched ballistic missile. Due to the political situation at the Pentagon, the Navy promoted the P6M primarily as a high speed minelayer.

The P6M is commonly misunderstood. For some reason there's the common belief it was to be powered by turbo-ramjets. Convair did propose some high-speed flying boats but they never flew.

Actually, the plane did come apart during a control system failure -- I should note the g-load which failed the plane was 9. It was a lot tougher than you think.

My father, a career naval aviator, was assigned to the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics's P6M program. He was slated to fly with the Martin test team on one of the prototype's first test flights but was bumped. During that flight, the aircraft suffered a control system failure in flight which lead to it's disintegration at 5,000 feet with the subsequent loss of all personnel on board.
