I am writing a book on U-boats and attacks on U-boats. I am looking for a photograph of a Catalina 'R' of VP-63 Squadron USN. I am also looking for photograph of a Catalina fitted with a retro-bomb.

I look forward to your replies

regards

I have found one photo of a VP-63 Catalina operating out of Port Lyautey in North Africa but it had a number "18".
