Description: Atlantis Models M5301 PBY-5A Catalina US Navy Seaplane 1/104 Scale Model Kit One of the most recognizable aircraft employed by the U.S. Navy during World War II, the Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina patrol bomber proved to be strategically indispensable for the elimination of U-boats from high above the tumultuous Atlantic Ocean. After four design iterations since its first flight in 1935, a fifth incarnation incorporated amphibious capabilities. Today, the Catalina is often cited for its part in the rescue of survivors from the torpedoed U.S.S. Indianapolis in 1945, risking 12-foot swells to save crew members helplessly adrift in shark-infested waters.
