Looking for any large images of Fly Boats pre-1950's. Is there any good image database or other sources to browse? Thanks so much!

You could start here:
The Martin Mariner, Mars, Marlin Flying Boats
I grew up a stone's throw from Glenn L. Martin aircraft company, at Middle
River, Md. I've got a few hours flying time in the PBM, too. Hope this
helps get you started.

Joe: I don't remember what VP was at NAS Jax in 1951-52. I was
attached to ComFairJax, and use to bum rides in the PBM's. They would
fly down to the Keys and to Gitmo. Most of their radiomen would rather
stay home with their family they fly extra hours.
edit: According to Wiki, NAS Jax has been home to VP-3, VP-5, VP-16,
VP-30 and VP-45,

I have a couple of the Martin Mars in there that I took, plus a few more, if needed...
