Is there any information as to whether or not the Goose
would have accomplished the mission it was built for.

I have read that only one test was flown just above the water

Here is a posting from a pilot in the Hughes Tool Company aircraft division
telling about a conversation that he had with the chief engineer of the
aircraft.

He says there was a problem with the ailerons. I have also read articles by
other people who said they didn't think the airframe could survive the
pounding from storms in the Atlantic.
