Seaplane Raids

[Zipper730]

I remember once reading about the PBY's being used to mount a bombing raid at night. It was during WWII in the pacific theater. I have nothing else on it.

The Consolidated PBY Catalina, also known as the Canso in Canadian service, is an American flying boat. Google Black Cat squadrons, it's easy

In September 1942, a sub-launched Yokosuka E14Y seaplane launched an air raid near Brookings, southern Oregon. This was the first time enemy planes attacked the US mainland. Info about the Lookout Air Raids can be found at this link:

There is lots of "stuff" on Wiki, maybe you could also spend your life re-posting links to it?

Perhaps use this forum's search feature to find what you're wanting to learn...that is unless digging up old threads and posting redundant info from Wiki is your thing...

Which it clearly is. Is there a "mass lock" feature that can be enabled for any thread over a year old?

 

[fubar57]

There are several ancient threads that have restarted as new information has come available and some good discussions came about; I'm all for these. I am dead against restarting a thread using Wiki that rehashes the original discussion

I think the ability to keep a thread in hibernation is fine if useful information comes up. It seems better than having to start a completely new thread from start.
