The Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina is an American amphibious flying boat, widely used during World War II for reconnaissance, anti-submarine patrol and sea rescue missions. Its ability to operate from water and land runways made it a valuable asset to the US Navy.


During the Battle of Midway in June 1942, the Catalina played a crucial role in detecting the Japanese fleet, allowing American forces to prepare and counter the offensive, changing the course of the war in the Pacific.
