Consolidated PBY Catalina
The Consolidated PBY Catalina, also known as the Canso in Canadian service, was an American flying boat, and later an amphibious aircraft of the 1930s and 1940s produced by Consolidated Aircraft. It was one of the most widely used seaplanes of World War II. Catalinas served with every branch of the United States Armed Forces and in the air forces and navies of many other nations.
During World War II, PBYs were used in anti-submarine warfare, patrol bombing, convoy escorts, search and rescue missions (especially air-sea rescue), and cargo transport. The PBY was the most numerous aircraft of its kind and the last active military PBYs were not retired from service until the 1980s. In 2014, nearly 80 years after its first flight, the aircraft continues to fly as a waterbomber (or airtanker) in aerial firefighting operations all over the world.
Naming
The designation "PBY" was determined in accordance with the U.S. Navy aircraft designation system of 1922; PB representing "Patrol Bomber" and Y being the code assigned to Consolidated Aircraft as its manufacturer. Catalinas built by other manufacturers for the US Navy were designated according to different manufacturer codes, thus Canadian Vickers-built examples were designated PBV, Boeing Canada examples PB2B (there already being a Boeing PBB) and Naval Aircraft Factory examples were designated PBN. In accordance with contemporary British naming practice of naming seaplanes after coastal port towns, Royal Canadian Air Force examples were named Canso, for the town of that name in Nova Scotia. The Royal Air Force used the name Catalina and the US Navy adopted this name in 1942. The United States Army Air Forces and later the United States Air Force used the designation OA-10. US Navy Catalinas used in the Pacific against the Japanese for night operations were painted black overall, and as a result were sometimes referred to locally as "Black Cats".

Wheels on Water - The Slow, Ugly, and Incredibly Successful Consolidated PBY Catalina
The Consolidated PBY Catalina, or Pigboat, was one of the most versatile and effective multi-role aircraft of World War II. Although this flying amphibious aircraft did not sport the war face of a B17 Bomber, it paved the way to victory for the United States and its allies across the Pacific and every other major theatre of the conflict. PBY Catalinas were primarily used for air-sea rescue operations, cargo transport, convoy bombing, and anti-submarine warfare. It is estimated that they destroyed over 40 enemy U-boats in the Atlantic and Pacific between 1941 and 1945, becoming the ultimate submarine hunter. --- Join Dark Skies as we explore the world of aviation with cinematic short documentaries featuring the biggest and fastest airplanes ever built, top-secret military projects, a...

PBY Catalinas were primarily used for air-sea rescue operations, cargo transport, convoy bombing, and anti-submarine warfare.
It is estimated that they destroyed over 40 enemy U-boats in the Atlantic and Pacific between 1941 and 1945, becoming the ultimate submarine hunter.

The Consolidated PBY Catalina is a flying boat and amphibious aircraft that was produced in the 1930s and 1940s. In Canadian service it was known as the Canso. It was one of the most widely used seaplanes of World War II. Catalinas served with every branch of the United States Armed Forces and in the air forces and navies of many other nations. The last military PBYs served until the 1980s. As of 2021, 86 years after its first flight, the aircraft continues to fly as a waterbomber (or airtanker) in aerial firefighting operations in some parts of the world. None remain in military service.
The PBY 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 disrupt enemy supply lines. With a mind to a potential conflict in the Pacific Ocean, where troops would require resupply over great distances, the U.S. Navy in the 1930s invested millions of dollars in developing long-range flying boats for this purpose. Flying boats had the advantage of not requiring runways, in effect having the entire ocean available.
As American dominance in the Pacific Ocean began to face competition from Japan in the 1930s, the U.S. Navy contracted Consolidated, Martin and Douglas in October 1933 to build competing prototypes for a patrol flying boat. Naval doctrine of the 1930s and 1940s used flying boats in a wide variety of roles that today are handled by multiple special-purpose aircraft. The U.S. Navy had adopted the Consolidated P2Y and Martin P3M models for this role in 1931, but both aircraft were underpowered and hampered by inadequate range and limited payloads.
Consolidated and Douglas both delivered single prototypes of their new designs, the XP3Y-1 and XP3D-1, respectively. Consolidated's XP3Y-1 was an evolution of the XPY-1 design that had originally competed unsuccessfully for the P3M contract two years earlier and of the XP2Y design that the Navy had authorized for a limited production run. Although the Douglas aircraft was a good design, the Navy opted for Consolidated's because the projected cost was only $90,000 per aircraft.
PBY waist gunner mounting port side gun blister
Consolidated's XP3Y-1 design (company Model 28) had a parasol wing with external bracing struts, mounted on a pylon over the fuselage. Wingtip stabilizing floats were retractable in flight to form streamlined wingtips and had been licensed from the Saunders-Roe company. The two-step hull design was similar to that of the P2Y, but the Model 28 had a cantilever cruciform tail unit instead of a strut-braced twin tail. Cleaner aerodynamics gave the Model 28 better performance than earlier designs. Construction is all-metal, stressed-skin, of aluminum sheet, except the ailerons and wing trailing edge, which are fabric covered.
The prototype was powered by two 825 hp (615 kW) Pratt & Whitney R-1830-54 Twin Wasp radial engines mounted on the wing's leading edge. Armament comprised four .30 in (7.6 mm) Browning AN/M2 machine guns and up to 2,000 lb (910 kg) of bombs.
The XP3Y-1 had its maiden flight on 21 March 1935, after which it was transferred to the U.S. Navy for service trials. The XP3Y-1 was a significant performance improvement over previous patrol flying boats. The Navy requested further development in order to bring the aircraft into the category of patrol bomber, and in October 1935, the prototype was returned to Consolidated for further work, including installation of 900 hp (670 kW) R-1830-64 engines. For the redesignated XPBY-1, Consolidated introduced redesigned vertical tail surfaces which resolved a problem with the tail becoming submerged on takeoff, which had made lift-off impossible under some conditions.

The Consolidated PBY Catalina, also known as the Canso in Canadian service, is an American flying boat, and later an amphibious aircraft of the 1930s and 1940s produced by Consolidated Aircraft. It was one of the most widely used seaplanes of World War II. Catalinas served with every branch of the United States Armed Forces and in the air forces and navies of many other nations.
During World War II, PBYs were used in anti-submarine warfare, patrol bombing, convoy escort, search and rescue missions (especially air-sea rescue), and cargo transport. The PBY was the most numerous aircraft of its kind and the last active military PBYs were not retired from service until the 1980s. As of 2014, nearly 80 years after its first flight, the aircraft continues to fly as a waterbomber (or airtanker) in aerial firefighting operations all over the world.

The PBY Catalina was probably the most versatile aircraft of the Second World War. Involved from start to finish, in every theatre, in a variety of roles. It was a Catalina that spotted the Bismarck, the Japanese fleet sailing towards Ceylon and the Jappanese carrier fleet at Midway. They ranged far and wide out into the Atlantic and north towards the Arctic Circle.
Jeff Boyling is a part owner and pilot of Catalina G-PBYA. In this video, he explores the design, operational history and his own experience with the Catalina. Thanks to Jeff, David Legg and The Catalina Society for their help in making this video.

The Consolidated PBY Catalina, or Pigboat, was one of the most versatile and effective multi-role aircraft of World War II.
Although this flying amphibious aircraft did not sport the war face of a B17 Bomber, it paved the way to victory for the United States and its allies across the Pacific and every other major theatre of the conflict.
PBY Catalinas were primarily used for air-sea rescue operations, cargo transport, convoy bombing, and anti-submarine warfare.
It is estimated that they destroyed over 40 enemy U-boats in the Atlantic and Pacific between 1941 and 1945, becoming the ultimate submarine hunter.

This film "Fundamentals of Patrol Plane Handling No. 2: Preparing the Plane for Flight" was one of a series. It shows the step by step process to ready a PBY Catalina amphibian for takeoff. It opens with a note informing viewers it is restricted and was to be shown to authorized personnel only (:08). The U.S. Navy seal follows (:19). It was produced under the supervision of the Bureau of Aeronautics under technical direction of the Naval Air Operational Training Command, Audio Productions Inc. The first segment details how to prepare the amphibian for flight (:38). Air crew and pilots (:49) stand in an assembly. The plane crew is focused on at morning muster (1:10) as they receive orders in the morning. The first plane used in demonstration is the consolidated PBY 6A Catalina (1:45). The mechanic unlocks the waste hatch (1:57). Lines are cast from the bow, tail and wings (2:15). Engine covers are removed (2:26). The lines are wrapped and set in a pile aboard the plane (2:48). Cockpit covers (3:01) and elevator batons (3:30) are removed. Lines are passed aboard to the pilot in the cockpit (3:45). Men pass gear into the plane (3:50). The third pilot climbs aboard (4:15). Ammunition is pulled aboard through the open tunnel hatch (4:26). Magazines containing machine gun ammo (4:33) are set into racks. Float lights are set into place (4:44). The tunnel hatch is closed (5:01). A ship tips onto its side a result of a hatch carelessly left open by a patrol bomber (5:07). Food supplies must be taken along flight (5:21). The locking mechanisms (5:34) are removed. Pilots meet in the ready room (5:54). Pilot and second pilot receive detail of flight order (6:09). Commander and navigator study charts and weather reports (6:22). The commander performs a preflight check up on the exterior of the plane (7:06). He climbs aboard (7:42) continuing his check in the waste hatch (7:51). He continues to check through the aft apartment (8:04). The commander slides into his station behind the controls (8:31). Checks ensure no lose gear or tools are left behind (8:53). Flight crew are pictured wearing life preservers and parachutes (9:05). Engines are tested (9:27). Propellers are pulled through by hand prior to starting (9:39). The ignition switch is pictured set to off (9:46). Oil lock is explained (10:30). The crew passes a fire extinguisher aboard the plane (11:21). The interphone system (11:34) and the auxiliary power plant are switched on (11:51). The fuel tank valve is opened (13:04). Commander and tower communicate (13:21). Ignition of the engines begins as the priming pump is hit (13:39). The wobble pump is worked (13:51). The inertia started is switched on (14:07), port ignition switch is closed (14:16) and the starboard engine is readied (14:48). The starboard engine begins to fire (15:17). The engine is started (16:03). The oil pressure responds properly (16:35) as engines warm up. The throttles are opened (17:07). The rpm is checked (18:00). The pilot listens to unusual changes of the tone in the engine (18:14). Unusual sounds are corrected (19:29). The tunnel hatch is check by the second mechanic (20:37). Flight preparation is considered complete at this point (21:45). The inspection form is completed (21:52). A verbal count of life preservers and parachutes harnesses are accounted for (22:10). Rounds of ammunition and pyro technics are also accounted for (22:18). The beach master arrives alongside the ready craft (23:01) with the yellow sheet signifying the patrol bomber is ready for flight. The film concludes on the US Navy seal (23:31).
The Consolidated Model 28, more commonly known as the PBY Catalina, is a flying boat and amphibious aircraft that was produced in the 1930s and 1940s. It was one of the most widely used seaplanes of World War II.

Consolidated PBY Catalina was one of the most used flying boats in the world! Now, you can find it in the military aviation museum too. In this military aviation history documentary, we talk about the Consolidated Aircraft Company and many planes they built before the consolidated pby-5a catalina. Catalina excelled in various missions, from long range patrol to becoming the most successful submarine hunter of World War. But PBY Catalina was popular even after the war, when it became a Landseaire, a luxury flying yacht, we do a deep dive into the specs of this amazing plane, talk about the pby catalina crew, catalina interior and how these big pratt and whitney engines helped it to achieve such a long range of flight!

The Consolidated PBY Catalina is a flying boat and amphibious aircraft that was produced in the 1930s and 1940s. In Canadian service it was known as the Canso. It was one of the most widely used seaplanes of World War II. Catalinas served with every branch of the United States Armed Forces and in the air forces and navies of many other nations. The last military PBYs served until the 1980s. As of 2021, 86 years after its first flight, the aircraft continues to fly as a waterbomber (or airtanker) in aerial firefighting operations in some parts of the world. None remain in military service.
The PBY 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 disrupt enemy supply lines. With a mind to a potential conflict in the Pacific Ocean, where troops would require resupply over great distances, the U.S. Navy in the 1930s invested millions of dollars in developing long-range flying boats for this purpose. Flying boats had the advantage of not requiring runways, in effect having the entire ocean available.
As American dominance in the Pacific Ocean began to face competition from Japan in the 1930s, the U.S. Navy contracted Consolidated, Martin and Douglas in October 1933 to build competing prototypes for a patrol flying boat. Naval doctrine of the 1930s and 1940s used flying boats in a wide variety of roles that today are handled by multiple special-purpose aircraft. The U.S. Navy had adopted the Consolidated P2Y and Martin P3M models for this role in 1931, but both aircraft were underpowered and hampered by inadequate range and limited payloads.
Consolidated and Douglas both delivered single prototypes of their new designs, the XP3Y-1 and XP3D-1, respectively. Consolidated's XP3Y-1 was an evolution of the XPY-1 design that had originally competed unsuccessfully for the P3M contract two years earlier and of the XP2Y design that the Navy had authorized for a limited production run. Although the Douglas aircraft was a good design, the Navy opted for Consolidated's because the projected cost was only $90,000 per aircraft.

Consolidated's XP3Y-1 design (company Model 28) had a parasol wing with external bracing struts, mounted on a pylon over the fuselage. Wingtip stabilizing floats were retractable in flight to form streamlined wingtips and had been licensed from the Saunders-Roe company. The two-step hull design was similar to that of the P2Y, but the Model 28 had a cantilever cruciform tail unit instead of a strut-braced twin tail. Cleaner aerodynamics gave the Model 28 better performance than earlier designs. Construction is all-metal, stressed-skin, of aluminum sheet, except the ailerons and wing trailing edge, which are fabric covered.
The prototype was powered by two 825 hp (615 kW) Pratt & Whitney R-1830-54 Twin Wasp radial engines mounted on the wing's leading edge. Armament comprised four .30 in (7.6 mm) Browning AN/M2 machine guns and up to 2,000 lb (910 kg) of bombs.
The XP3Y-1 had its maiden flight on 21 March 1935, after which it was transferred to the U.S. Navy for service trials. The XP3Y-1 was a significant performance improvement over previous patrol flying boats. The Navy requested further development in order to bring the aircraft into the category of patrol bomber, and in October 1935, the prototype was returned to Consolidated for further work, including installation of 900 hp (670 kW) R-1830-64 engines. For the redesignated XPBY-1, Consolidated introduced redesigned vertical tail surfaces which resolved a problem with the tail becoming submerged on takeoff, which had made lift-off impossible under some conditions.

PBY Catalina Patrol Aircraft (Battle Stations): Second World War Documentary - WW2 Documentary
The Consolidated PBY Catalina, also known as the Canso in Canadian service, is an American flying boat, and later an amphibious aircraft of the 1930s and 1940s produced by Consolidated Aircraft. It was one of the most widely used seaplanes of World War II. Catalinas served with every branch of the United States Armed Forces and in the air forces and navies of many other nations.
During World War II, PBYs were used in anti-submarine warfare, patrol bombing, convoy escort, search and rescue missions (especially air-sea rescue), and cargo transport. The PBY was the most numerous aircraft of its kind and the last active military PBYs were not retired from service until the 1980s. As of 2014, nearly 80 years after its first flight, the aircraft continues to fly as a waterbomber (or airtanker) in aerial firefighting operations all over the world.

Consolidated PBY Catalina
The Consolidated PBY Catalina, also known as the Canso in Canadian service, was an American flying boat, and later an amphibious aircraft of the 1930s and 1940s produced by Consolidated Aircraft. It was one of the most widely used seaplanes of World War II. Catalinas served with every branch of the United States Armed Forces and in the air forces and navies of many other nations.
During World War II, PBYs were used in anti-submarine warfare, patrol bombing, convoy escorts, search and rescue missions (especially air-sea rescue), and cargo transport. The PBY was the most numerous aircraft of its kind and the last active military PBYs were not retired from service until the 1980s. In 2014, nearly 80 years after its first flight, the aircraft continues to fly as a waterbomber (or airtanker) in aerial firefighting operations all over the world.
Naming
The designation "PBY" was determined in accordance with the U.S. Navy aircraft designation system of 1922; PB representing "Patrol Bomber" and Y being the code assigned to Consolidated Aircraft as its manufacturer. Catalinas built by other manufacturers for the US Navy were designated according to different manufacturer codes, thus Canadian Vickers-built examples were designated PBV, Boeing Canada examples PB2B (there already being a Boeing PBB) and Naval Aircraft Factory examples were designated PBN. In accordance with contemporary British naming practice of naming seaplanes after coastal port towns, Royal Canadian Air Force examples were named Canso, for the town of that name in Nova Scotia. The Royal Air Force used the name Catalina and the US Navy adopted this name in 1942. The United States Army Air Forces and later the United States Air Force used the designation OA-10. US Navy Catalinas used in the Pacific against the Japanese for night operations were painted black overall, and as a result were sometimes referred to locally as "Black Cats".
