This video is a rather detailed look at PBY construction at the Consolidated Aircraft Factory at Lindbergh Field in San Diego.

Here's another PBY film that was long ago transferred to VHS video. I used a special piece of analog video gear to clean up the picture a bit (there can be a lot very dark areas in these old transferred films).

 

The is STORY OF THE BLACK CATS

Dad was stationed someplace in the South Pacific when he volunteered to be an extra lookout for the search for Eddie Rickenbacker. He got to sit in one of the side bubble windows in a PBY. Never came anywhere close to where Rickenbacker was found, but he used to say it was one of his most pleasant experiences of his 5 years in the army. I always enjoy seeing stuff about those planes. Thanks!
