Douglas XP3D The Douglas XP3D was a prototype American patrol flying boat of the 1930s . A twin - engined high - winged monoplane , the P3D was produced by the Douglas Aircraft Company to equip the US Navy ' s Patrol squadrons , but despite meeting the Navy ' s requirements , the rival Consolidated PBY was preferred owing to a lower price . Development and design . In 1933 , the United States Navy placed orders with both Douglas and Consolidated Aircraft for single prototypes of patrol flying boats , to replace the Consolidated P2Y and Martin P3M that equipped the Navy ' s patrol squadrons . Douglas ' s design , the P3D , was designed in parallel with the smaller YB - 11 being developed for the United States Army Air Corps ( which was eventually built as the YOA - 5 ) , and like the YB - 11 , was a twin - engined high - winged monoplane with its engines ( the new Pratt & Whitney R - 1830 Twin Wasp radial engine mounted in nacelles above and ahead of the wing . Unlike the YB - 11 , it was a pure flying boat rather than an amphibian , and was therefore fitted with retractable beaching gear to allow it to be moved to and from shore , rather than a full undercarriage allowing operation from land or sea . The Douglas prototype , designated XP3D - 1 , first flew on 6 February 1935 , and was delivered to NAS San Diego for testing in March 1935 . Both the XP3D - 1 and Consolidated ' s P3Y successfully passed the Navy ' s performance tests , demonstrated very similar performance , an order was placed for 60 P3Ys ( re - designated PBY in May 1936 ) because the Consolidated aircraft was cheaper , costing $ 90 , 000 per aircraft compared with $ 110 , 000 for the Douglas aircraft . Douglas re - designed the P3D to improve performance in order to win follow - on contracts , and rebuilt the XP3D - 1 , raising the wing by 27 inches ( 0 . 69 m ) and mounting the engines on the leading edge of the wing . The fixed wing floats were replaced by retractable floats , and a nose turret was fitted . The rebuilt aircraft , designated XP3D - 2 was re - delivered on 15 May 1935 , but production orders again went to Consolidated , for the improved PBY - 2 . Operational history . The XP3D - 1 was briefly operated by Patrol Squadron 3 ( VP - 3 ) until it was returned to Douglas for re - building . The re - built XP3D - 2 was used by VP - 11F as an VIP aircraft until destroyed in a crash at Acapulco Bay , Mexico on 8 February 1937 .
