[1] Design work on the AMC started in 1921 with the goal of producing an aluminum-hulled flying boat that would be more durable than contemporary all-wood construction.
Two 50-gallon streamlined main fuel tanks sat on the top wing on either side of the engine with a 70-gallon fuselage-mounted reserve.
The pilot and mechanic sat slightly raised in individual open cockpits behind the passengers, beneath the main wing.
Within three days of its first flight on 1 June 1923, the aircraft was flown from Keyport, New Jersey to New York to try to find additional customers.
Aeromarine ceased service in late 1924, without a customer base for sales, only the one AMC was completed.
