Need help with this Catalina

SA Dave

Well-known member
A fellow modeler in SA is looking for this info please

"Im considering building a 1/72 PBY5A. Specifically the one that Lieutenant R.A Marks flew in 1945 when he rescued sailors from the sea after the sinking of their battleship, Uss Indianapolis. Problem is, cant find much on the internet wrt hes plane. Camo scheme, call sign and such. Will appreciate any info you guys might have, from books or dvds."
 
All I can find so far Dave: https://www.navalhistory.org/2014/07/31/timeline-to-justice-the-quest-to-restore-honor-to-the-captain-and-crew-of-the-uss-indianapolis

Looks like a black cat. So a satin black finish.
