This folder contains a repaint for the Aerosoft PBY Catalina for FSX, representing PBY-5 BuNo2446. It was originally assigned to VP-23 at Pearl Harbor in November 1941, and all its aircraft were destroyed during the December 7 attacks by the Japanese. 2446 was rebuilt using parts from other PBY's and reassigned to VP-21. It flew to Perth, Western Australia in April 1942, becoming 'Boat 1' with VP-101. Lt (jg) Tom Pollock flew it with medicine and ammunition to Corregidor via Darwin just before the island surrendered in late April. 2446 was lost in action over New Guinea in August 1943, still flying with VP-101.
Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paint kit by Aerosoft.
