	PBY Catalina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Catalina was originally designed to be a patrol bomber, an aircraft with a long operational range intended to locate and attack enemy transport ships at sea in order to compromise enemy supply lines.
		The name "Catalina" had been used by Consolidated for their commercial sales prior to the British order, and was eventually adopted by the US Navy on October 1, 1941.
		Catalinas were the most extensively used anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft in both the Atlantic and Pacific Theaters of the Second World War.

	Australia's Museum of Flight - Consolidated Catalina.
		Australia's association with the venerable Catalina began in 1939 when P G Taylor used a PBY to pioneer the first Indian Ocean air route to Britain.
		Catalinas were vulnerable to enemy attack, almost half the RAAF's fleet having been destroyed - by enemy aircraft - by December 1942.
		The Catalina was an ultra long-range aircraft with many operations extending deep into enemy-held territory, without the benefit of escorting fighter aircraft.

		The Catalina operated and maintained by the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society, was purchased in 2002 in Portugal where it had been operated as a water bomber under Chilean registration, and was flown to Australia in September 2003.
		HARS intends to restore the Catalina to conform as closely as possible to the configuration of the famous RAAF "Black cats" of World War II.
		The Society's exhibit will proudly represent the "Black Cat" squadrons of the RAAF and will be a fitting tribute to the 239 Australian airmen who lost their lives undertaking hazardous bombing and mine laying missions both at night and in daylight, and always at very low altitudes.

		The Catalina was hoisted 10 m above the floor of the Boiler Hall in the Powerhouse Museum and a year later it formed the breathtaking centrepiece of the Transport Exhibition which opened to the public in 1988.
		The name Catalina was coined by the British in 1940 and is said to derive from an island near the Consolidated factory at San Diego.

	Consolidated PBY Catalina
		The Consolidated Catalina flying boat and amphibian is properly recognised as being one of the great aircraft of the World War II era.
		The most widely-used flying boat of the war, the Catalina operated on all front between 1939 and 1945 in a wide variety of offensive and secondary roles including antisubmarine, air-sea rescue, minelaying, bombing and transport.
		In the latter role, many of the 3290 built by the parent company and its licencees also saw extensive service in commercial operations and even in the early 21st century, some are still used as firebombers and survey aircraft.

		Following their retirement from US service shortly after the war, many Catalinas continued to be used by commercial operators carrying passengers and freight to parts of the world that lacked suitable airfields.
		A Catalina fire bomber could land on a lake and take on four tons of water in 14 seconds while land-based aircraft had to waste valuable time returning to an airfield to refill their tanks.
		Catalinas also went on to equip many of the world's smaller armed services with several countries using them until the late 1970s.

		The Consolidated PBY Catalina was the U. Navy's most successful patrol flying boat of the war but naval aviators also used the PBY to attack ships at night, and to search for and rescue people stranded at sea.
		Consolidated could not entice the cash-strapped Navy into buying this twin-engine, parasol-wing, monoplane flying boat but the company pressed on to build and operate the airplane as a civil transport called the Commodore.
		The crew of a Catalina fire bomber could land on a lake and scoop four tons of water in fourteen seconds.

		The squadron never exceeded four Catalinas in strength, and the aircraft used the registration letters A, B, C and D. At some time between late 1943 and early 1944 the number 3 was added to the single letter, before the squadron code KK was dedicated to No. 333 Squadron.
