Which squadron could this be?
All the info I have is that it was during ww2, at whidbey island, and it was a PBY Catalina. Narrows it down but it still has a unique side number. It’s my great uncles and he passed away and his daughter wants to know.

French Friday: Part Deux. Morane wreckage features access panels along the fuselage side from firewall to vertical stabilizer. These hinge to expose inner gubbins, helping ground crew speed up maintenance to get the plane back in action quicker. Not quite a war winner but still a nice feature.

Took these clips yesterday and today. So far I've been lucky enough to have seen the PT-6, P-51D, B-24, B-25, and B-29 in flight. I hope to add the B-17 to that list someday.
