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.
