Consolidated PBY Catalina is one of the most recognized aircraft in the world. The amphibious PBY5A Catalina was involved in almost every major operation in World War II, and figured significantly in defeating the U-boat menace in the Atlantic.

Later models equipped with radar and Magnetic Anomaly Detection equipment operated throughout the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Pacific. PBY proved ideal in long-range reconnaissance such as locating the Japanese fleet at Midway, Black Cat night anti-shipping, and Dumbo air-sea rescue. The venerable Catalina served in every theater of the war. In all, 3,276 PBYs were built. Many are still flying.
