From the June 23, 2011, Windsor (Can) Express.
The Catalina Flying Boat was a long-range reconnaissance plane used as a search and rescue and light attack aircraft. It was armed with up to five machine guns.
More than 3,000 were built in Canada during the war.
There is only one fully operational Catalina in the UK and only twelve still flying regularly in the world.
One built in 1943 will be flying from Duxford to White Waltham Airfield for a Catalina Day celebration.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
