[edit] Based on Curtiss?

This suggessts that the M5 is based on a Curtiss flying boat - other sorces - eg Gunston, Bill (1995). The Osprey Encyclopedia of Russian Aircraft from 1875 - 1995. Osprey Aerospace. ISBN 1-85532-405-9.  suggest that is a development of a serirs of Grigorovich flying boats, originally originating in the pre-war repair of a Frech flying boat.Nigel Ish 20:25, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't have too much information on these aircraft, but the Finnish article claims the same thing (that it was based on the French F.B.A.-flying boat). Could it be that the Curtiss originally was based on the French aircraft? --MoRsE 20:45, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
