The US Navy first used the 5-series Catalina in 1939. During WWII, 21 squadrons used this aircraft. Besides the US Navy and Air Force, the RAF, Canadian, New Zealand and Australian governments bought PBY's from Boeing. These planes were equipped with four-five machine guns and 4,000 lbs. of bombs or depth charges. Consolidated PBY-5A CatalinaDesigned to replace the Martin P3M, the PBY Catalina was first flown on March 28th, 1935. This aircraft is a long range patrol flying boat, one of the most rugged and versatile aircraft in U.S. history. Its long range assisted in the location and attack of enemy transport ships. A great advantage of flying boats is that they need no runway, however later PBY variants incorporated retractable landing gear, allowing for amphibious operation from land or water. Even today-more than seventy years after its first flight-the PBY continues to fly as an air tanker in firefighting operations throughout the world.
