Catalina Number of views as of 3rd September 2017 = 530. The superb Catalina flying boat, captured at Bournemouth Air Festival 2008. The Catalina was built by US manufacturer Consolidated Aircraft during the 1930s and 1940s and is probably the most successful flying boat ever built. The aircraft was very versatile and during WWII, Catalinas were used as anti-submarine warfare aircraft, patrol bombers, convoy escorts, search and rescue aircraft, and transports. Even today, over seventy years after its first flight, the aircraft continues to fly as an airtanker in aerial firefighting operations all over the world.
