And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Triple tailed, four passenger, bi-winged float plane
Supermarine Southampton, mid-1920's, designed by the Mitchell team that eventually produced the Spitfire. Its a flying boat i.e. supported by fuselage when on the water, as opposed to a floatplane which has its fuselage supported above the water by separate floats (think S6B Schneider Trophy airplane).
