    Nice to see the PBY-3 it was not amphibian but a true floatplane the PBY-5a was an amphibian denoted by the "a" at the end. What a great film probably filmed in early 43.

    My hero father enlisted in the Navy start of WWII. He would become a search and rescue PBY Catalina Pilot, his plane and crew were stationed on Cuba of all places. My fathers crew saved many sailors a drift on the ocean clinging to what ever they could find when their ship was sunk or plane crashed. While stationed on Cuda my father had to the opportunity to test fly nearly every plane in the American inventory at that time, thats another story.

    In the mid 60's there was a red Catalina in Arizona being used as a slurry bomber for the US Forest service. I only saw it for one summer season. An awesome sight for sure. It would land on one of the lakes, pick up a load of water and continue on. I was born during WWII.

      Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
      In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous TH-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.

    You REALLY need to move your count caption. It obstructs the captions, and should be closer to the bottom where it would be less irritating. Can easily be done by varying you aspect ratios and placing the count caption OUTSIDE of the film. Simple really, but it takes a non-American to think of it. But then, we are much more intelligent.
