Re: Search for Catalina Flying Boat
So what is your question?
Re: Search for Catalina Flying Boat
My question would be...what the check is a PB-1 Catalina?
A PB-1W was a USN B-17.
A PBN-1 was a USN produced Catalina.
The PBN-1 and PBY-6A were sent via Lend-Lease to the USSR.

Good afternoon Dann,
I did not ask a question.
I reported on an article from a "popular" magazine.
When reading the article, I noted it did not reference PBYs like those used between Philippines and DEI waters.

Ahhh.....nice short article. Not clear if they are talking about PBYs or some variant of it.
