Thanks zuluhour, that is very interesting.

I'm ignoring your duplicate thread, by the way.

Excellent source. I could not stop reading it. Explains more about PBYs and their use than I would have ever learned from other sources.

Very interesting read, thanks

the author mentioned:
Q. Were they using them just as we were, for search purposes?
A. Just as we were, but they have none left now - four-engine Kawanishi's. We hadn't seen one in six weeks or two months. They're going into twin-engine landplanes that look very much like our PV's. We figured their top speed was 180 knots; the PV is much faster.

What would that plane be? G3M3? J1N1-C?

Nells. I read somewhere that they were used extensively for search due to range and abundance oh and ease of maintenance.
