my father flew this plane in ww11 in the pacific, if anyone has an interest in these pilots - aviators and the planes they flew give me a ring a ding ding....
My father Arthur Hollingsworth flew a plane like this in WWII in the Pacific too! Just saw one at the National Naval Avaition Museum in Pensacola Florida. One big plane! He would have been so proud.
Bill, my Dad also flew the Coronado in the Pacific during WW2. They may have known each other. Dad's copilot is still alive and well living in Huston. My Dad, Commander Roger Wolf, died in 1955 in an F9F crash. He tested the first jets for the Navy after WW2. It would be fun to correspond. I can be reached at alynwolf@gmail.com.
My dad, Warren B. Matthew, flew this plane (PBY Coronado) in WW11 as well. He flew it along the west coast from San Diego to Seattle on sub patrol during the second half of the war. During the first half, he flew the PBY Catalina in the South Pacific.
when a b24 and a boat love each other very much...
Does look like a B24 made to land on water.
March 24, 2019---Damn, didn't realize how big it really was. First time I've actually seen one other than photos. Thanks for the clip.
Thanks for researching and sharing.
Good video - thanks for sharing. The music at the end was a nice addition.
WHAT A SOUND!!! :)
Was this built in Maryland from the old Martin yard?. I think there is still and airport in Baltimore called Martin Airport.
Built by Consolidated, not Martin.
These were Consolidated Aircraft. San Diego.
