There is an excellent illustrated booklet written by Mitch McKay that tells the story of Bob Hope’s un-planned arrival in a Catalina at Laurieton. Details may be found at

I would imagine over the years, Hope flew in most multi-seat WWII U.S. and military aircraft. Certainly in WWII, he logged a lot of hours in C-47s, C-47s, Catalinas….
