The CAMS 53 was a transport flying boat built in France in the early 1930s intended as a successor to the highly successful CAMS 53. Compared to the earlier design the CAMS 58 featured a newly-designed sesquiplane wing cellule and an all-metal hull in place of its predecessor's wooden one. Work was slow with three years passing between the start of design work and the prototype's first flight.
