I think it's one of the best-looking planes made. Its design makes it awesome for civilian use too.

Beautiful airplane with an amazing legacy. I’ve asked before, but never received a reply. I’ve seen many films showing the props on radial engines being walked to prevent hydraulic lock due to oil settling in lower cylinders. How was this done on high wing aircraft where the props were out of reach? Was there a different solution in place? This always comes to mind when seeing flying boats.
