The 'Beriev Be-6' (NATO reporting name: 'Madge') was an all-metal flying boat produced by the Soviet Beriev OKB. It was a gull winged aircraft with twin oval tail-fins on top of a deep fuselage. This flying boat was capable of accomplishing a wide variety of missions, such as long range maritime reconnaissance, coastal and supply line patrols, torpedo/bombing strikes, mine-laying, and transport operations.
The aircraft was built in 1949. Since requirements of naval aircraft do not change rapidly, the reliable Be-6 stayed in service until the late 1960's. Some aircraft ended service as civil unarmed transports in Arctic regions.
