Willard North Drive Thru

The PBY was used as a search & Rescue aircraft. In the pacific theater it rescued downed pilots, searched for enemy shipping (photo recon) and in some cases was used in anti sub missions. The bubbles on the back fuselage allowed the crew to open the canopies to pick up downed fliers, offload supplies, etc. Great piece of American heritage !!
