Description

This Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina represents a USAAF aircraft associated with John S. McCain at Henderson Field, Guadalcanal Island in August 1942. Tied to one of the most critical campaigns in the Pacific, it captures the Catalina in a role that combined transport, command presence and long-range utility.

A standout addition to any WWII Pacific theatre collection, especially for displays focused on flying boats and Guadalcanal-era subjects. Ideal for display and for collectors who enjoy historically linked aircraft with a strong operational setting.
