People should see what some of the ones that fly today look like. Some that are privately owned have been transformed into flying RV'S. Absolutely beautiful inside and out.

This is propaganda.

I have a uncle sank Japanese cruiser in the straights (Tokyo express)!👍 He made it back!👍

Nothing of any consequence was harmed by either leaded gas nor CFCs.

Interesting! exactly what was the uss John Harvey doing in Bari, loaded with a gas deemed illegal in 1925, some 18 years later? Doubt these were bombs more likly storage containers, wonder what's there today? 😮

Beautiful aircraft

A Catalina first spotted the mini sub, sunk by the Ward.

Thomas Midgley is a Hero of Humanity !

Afghanistan is the world's leading graveyard to anyone who tries to occupy it. What I said back in 03. Lessons in history, as an American soldier I knew that even then.

All the PBYs lost on Dec 7 were the type which required a crew to manually attach/or stow landing gear.

Damn beautiful aircraft

Ships, also known as "ships" due to their love of water.

Catalina; the best plane and I love them. Some smart entreprenauer should organize joy flights, anywhere?

Why was 'John Harvey' hauling mustard gas in the first place? Were the allies planning a humanitarian attack?

As a Dane we had those also and I also saw some flying.

Without PBYs, who found Kido Butai NW of Midway allowed our first strike advantage and eventually sunk all 4 first team IJN carriers.

Captured ?

My USMC father was badly wounded and near death during the battle for Munda in the Solomon Islands, when a USN admiral used his own PBY to fly the most severely wounded Marines to a hospital on another island. It saved my dad and, thus, me.

My father, Stan Kirby, was an aviation machinists mate on a PBY on Adak in the Aleutian Islands. Thx dad, love and miss you.

Sometimes see one over our bit of London, flying down from Duxford.

The factory method for checking the Catatinas assembled fuselage for leaks was to fill them with water.

a Catalina piloted by an American on exchange with the RAF (unofficially) found the Bismark after she was lost and as a result the entire royal navy hunting the Bismark did a 180 and eventually sank her, one of the single most important thing a Catalina did during WW2

Derry is the only city where the first 6 letters are silent

Don't forget how many sailors and airmen they fished out of the oceans !

Then came Patton and the 3rd Army. That ended that right the f.. there

One can never underestimate the importance of these aircraft, more the bravary of those crew's respect

And yet, the Americans decided to drag us into a 20yr war within Afghanistan and lost!

British colonialism in Asia The colony was given back To china in 1999 the end of European occupation Macau Also taken over!

You are showing a picture of Eddie Slovik. He was shot for Cowardice.

Nuts

Every thing the british does back fires

What was Mustard gas doing there in the first place?

Wonder what a fart is also known as lol?

Mustard Gas also known as Mustard Gas?
