PBY Catalina Part 2

from World of Warbirds Hosted by Bryan Pearce

In this free-ranging episode I look at the PBY in RAAF and RCAF service, introduce you to the “The Order of the Double Sunrise", look at the Catalina's anti-sub and SAR work, and profile a couple of amazing pilots. I look at how PBY's became firefighting cats and how their DNA made it into the CL-215, 415 and eventual 515 water bombers. Lastly, we look into the future with the CATALINA SPAR™.
