My favorite is the Martin M-130 of which only three were built and all were lost.
http://historicmysteries.com/vanished-hawaii-clipper-flight-229The Hawaii Clipper, one of only three commercial flying boats built in 1935 was designed to meet Pan American Airway’s desire for a trans-Pacific luxury aircraft. The other two were named the China Clipper and the Philippine Clipper. Equipped with giant pontoons, these flying boats could take off and land on water, while providing luxurious accommodations to passengers, similar tp those found on ocean liners.
In July 1938, Hawaii Clipper Flight #229 carrying nine crewmembers and six passengers were flying from Alameda, California to Manila by way of Honolulu, Midway, Wake, and Guam. Its passenger list included distinguished men: Dr. Earl Baldwin McKinley, Dean of Medicine at George Washington University, and Dr. Fred C. Meier, plant pathologist of the Department of Agriculture, who were en route from Guam to Manila in search of the answer to the puzzle of the trans-oceanic spread of disease germs and plant pollen. The Hawaii Clipper disappeared over the Pacific.
It is thought that it was flown untill 1944, at which time it was scrapped for reasons unknown.
TIME MACHINE: SHIPWRECKS are a dime a dozen off the shores of the Gold Coast, but what about a sunken plane?
The mystery of what happened to the wreckage of a Sandringham flying boat that sank beneath the waves off Burleigh Heads continues to fascinate history buffs nearly 60 years after it was last seen.
The Tasman-class VH-BRD Short S.25 Sandringham was built in Dumbarton, Scotland, in early 1944 by Blackburn Aircraft to be used by the Royal Air Force during the final year of World War II.
