Warpaint Series No. 79 - Consolidated PBY Catalina

72 pages. The PBY Catalina was the best known flying boat of WWII. Remembered for its ruggedness and resilience, it is no wonder that from its introduction in US Navy service in 1936 and throughout its continued use by other air forces into the 1980s, it distinguished itself as one of the most versatile military aircraft ever built. Conceived as a patrol bomber, during its military lifetime it carried out such disparate duties as torpedo bomber, convoy escort, anti-submarine warfare, long-range reconnaissance, SAR, night bombing, level bombing and strafing. The Catalina was built both as a flying boat and as an amphibian, and owing to it continued use after the war in both military and civil roles, its fame has only increased. Illustrated with full color artwork and profiles, detailed scale drawings and more than 120 photographs. 

Warpaint  is a series focusing on an individual type of aircraft. Each monograph contains descriptions of the aircraft s origins, its variants and combat history. Each volume includes several hundred archive photographs, technical scale drawings and color profile artworks
