Future generations of PBY/aviation enthusiasts will be indebted to you for your excellent research. I just bought your book.
Thanks Farmgate – now rather out of date and the internet age has meant that much more info and some corrections have come to light, a classic example being the Catalina ‘245’ in those LIFE photos which seems to have come as a surprise to other researchers I know as well as myself! Perhaps an update will come out one day!
