Early He-177 Grief was a death trap due to the engines being coupled with no efficient cooling or fire extinguisher system. It was nicknamed the flying coffin. There was one USN flying boat, the Marineer I think it was that was nicknamed the flying fuel can. These two are hardly complimentary nicknames for these types I should think...
