An illustrated book on one of the most successful flying boats of World War 2. The PBY "Catalina" flying boat was used by the Allies in practically all theatres of war during the Second World War, but especially in the Pacific region. Sea reconnaissance, submarine and ship hunting, the recovery of missing persons or supply and transport were part of the mission spectrum of these flying boats. The picture book documents the use of the "Catalina" flying boats and their technical development in the Second World War, the paint variants and markings on the basis of contemporary pictures.
