Consolidated PB2Y Coronado

The PB2Y Coronado was a large flying boat patrol bomber designed by Consolidated Aircraft. After deliveries of the PBY Catalina (also a Consolidated aircraft) began in 1935, the United States Navy began planning for the next generation of patrol bombers. For much more on this aircraft and many others, pay us a visit on www.aircraftube.com/sitemap/Co... (you may comment over there, so please do!)
Mis en chantier à peine quelques mois après le Catalina, le Coronado était censé être le grand frère de ce dernier. La suite sur cet avion et bien plus encore sur www.aircraftube.com/sitemap/Co... (N'hésitez pas à y placer vos commentaires et expériences!)

Does look like a B24 made to land on water.

Was this built in Maryland from the old Martin yard?. I think there is still and airport in Baltimore called Martin Airport.

[@tomhare3190]

Built by Consolidated, not Martin.

my father flew this plane in ww11 in the pacific, if anyone has an interest in these pilots - aviators and the planes they flew give me a ring a ding ding....

My father Arthur Hollingsworth flew a plane like this in WWII in the Pacific too! Just saw one at the National Naval Avaition Museum in Pensacola Florida. One big plane! He would have been so proud.

bill plunk id be happy to take any information you might have on these flying boats. Thank you. [e-mail]

[@ralyn43]

Bill, my Dad also flew the Coronado in the Pacific during WW2. They may have known each other. Dad's copilot is still alive and well living in Huston. My Dad, Commander Roger Wolf, died in 1955 in an F9F crash. He tested the first jets for the Navy after WW2. It would be fun to correspond. I can be reached at [e-mail].

My dad, Warren B. Matthew, flew this plane (PBY Coronado) in WW11 as well. He flew it along the west coast from San Diego to Seattle on sub patrol during the second half of the war. During the first half, he flew the PBY Catalina in the South Pacific.
