Consolidated/Boeing Canada PBY Catalina in Pearl Harbor
Off the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Facebook page
Incredible! Yesterday, a vintage Consolidated PBY Catalina flying boat took flight from the waters of Pearl Harbor in preparation for the 75th Commemoration of the End of WWII.
The Consolidated/Boeing Canada PBY Catalina was used for long range patrol and reconnaissance missions, antisubmarine warfare, as well as search and rescue. Thirty-three of these aircraft were destroyed during the attack on Pearl Harbor, leaving only 6 serviceable aircraft by the end of December 7, 1941.
