PBY Catalina Pilot's Flight Operating Instructions

Originally published by the U.S. Navy during World War II, this flight operating handbook - previously classified as "restricted" - taught pilots everything they needed to know before entering the cockpit of the Consolidated PBY Catalina flying boat, the search-and-rescue craft that also served on anti-submarine patrols in the Atlantic and as a "Black Cat" nighttime bomber in the Pacific. 114 reformatted pages, B&W photographs and illustrations, 8"x 10", softcover.
