PBY Catalina “Flying Boat”, which had seen action in the Aleutian Islands during World War II. Acquired by the Palm Springs Air Museum in 2007. It was restored to military markings with nose art picturing Howard’s wife, Harriet. This PBY is now being restored to active FLYING status, thanks to generous underwriting from Harriet Bernstein (in memory of her late husband Howard). Help us keep the PBY Catalina flying!
