Description
The Consolidated Catalina entered service with the U S Navy in 1936 and saw service throughout WW2 with the U.S.N. RAF, RCAF, and RAAF. It was used for anti-submarine warfare, air-sea rescue, and night bomber.
The Catalina PBY-5 was a pure flying boat and the PBY-5A had undercarriage which allowed land operations. The other major version - the PBY-6A had a larger tail and was equipped with radar.
The Catalina had a crew of 10 and was armed with 3 x 7.62mm machine guns, 2 x 12.7mm machine guns, and 4,000lb of bombs, torpedoes, or depth charges.
This example is a Catalina PBY-5A of the Aeronavale 1944.
