Detail & Scale and the author express a special word of thanks to the National Archives, National Museum of Naval Aviation, United States Air Force Museum, and Confederate Air Force for their help with the research and photography for this publication. In particular, the author gained access to the suspended PBY-5 Catalina on display at the National Museum of Naval Aviation. The museum's excellent cooperation would not be possible without their efforts.
Special thanks is also expressed to the United States Air Force Museum at Dayton, Ohio, where volunteers made the interior of the PBY-5A (OA-10) available to the author for photography. The cooperation of the U.S. Air Force Museum has been essential to the continuing detailed coverage in Detail & Scale publications.
The author also thanks aviator extraordinaire, Charles Largy. Charles is a former Navy PBY and PBM Confederate Air Force PBY-5A pilot.
Many photographs in this publication are credited to their contributors.
