"Каталина" - самая массовая легенда морской авиации мира.

This aircraft is, without exaggeration, a legend of World War II. And not just because it was and remains the most widely produced seaplane. The fact is that it was used throughout the war by virtually all Allied air forces, including the USSR. The diversity of this beautiful, elegant aircraft's applications is simply astounding: the Catalina was used as a passenger, transport, reconnaissance, search and rescue, anti-submarine, day and night bomber, and after the war, as an ice and geological survey aircraft, as well as an auxiliary aircraft in the Soviet civilian navy. Incidentally, the aircraft served faithfully in the USSR until the early 1960s, and both our military and civilian pilots adored it...
