Does anyone else remember the Martin P5M? I believe it was the first jet powered flying boat way back in the 50s. As I recall, one of the big problems with it was that of spray getting into the jet engines. Offhand I don't remember which engines were used but they were not turbofans. They were mounted on gull wings, which were a sort of Martin trademark going back to the PBM.
