Introduction

「カタリナ」の愛称で親しまれた傑作飛行艇です。
信頼性の高い水陸両用機で、哨戒から救難まで幅広く運用されました。戦後も活躍した傑作機のひとつです。

This excellent aircraft was affectionately called the "Catalina" by its crews. It's highly reliable and has a wide array of uses, from patrols to air-to-sea rescue. Even after the war it still was one of the best aircraft.
