Interesting. I never knew that the Army Air Corps owned/operated PBY-5A aircraft. I always considered that an exclusive Navy aircraft.

US Navy-operated PBYs were designated OA-10s in AAF service. But is it certain this aircraft was a Catalina?

Here is one at the Air Force Museum

The Army had a few twin engine Grummans in service in the 60’s - 70’s, the HU-16 Albatross. BTW, In the late 60’s and early 70’s the Army had more pilots than the Air Force and Navy combined.

As a side note - a good book on PBYs

Those Navy Guys and Their PBY’s: The Aleutian Solution

a page turner if you are a WWII buff.

I thought the same.
