Based on Curtiss?

edit

This suggests 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)Reply

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)Reply
The Durkota book suggests that it was a development of previous Grigorovich types, leading back to a Donnet Leveque.NiD.29 (talk) 01:28, 6 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
