One of the most widely-used multi-role Allied aircraft of WWII,
Consolidated's PBY Catalina was a flying boat to be reckoned with.
They were used as anti- submarine warfare platforms in the
Atlantic, and gained notoriety in the Pacific as rescue and
reconnaissance platforms, and as bombers. With their distinctive
fuselages painted the shade of midnight, the "Black Cats" undertook
daring raids of Japanese shipping and shore installations.
Originally printed by the U.S. Navy during World War 2, this flight
handbook taught pilots everything they needed to know before
entering the cockpit. Classified "Restricted," the manual was
recently declassified and is here reprinted in book form. This
affordable facsimile has been slightly reformatted. Care has been
taken to preserve the integrity of the text.
