| Barry, 04.02.2016 12:41 There was only 32 of these machines produced so rare were they that the allies gave them no reporting name as they were not seen until 1945. Just to nail it this training aircraft was and never would be a Catalina equivalent. reply | | deaftom, e-mail, 17.02.2012 00:31 It's definitely not a Catalina copy. The H9A1 was clearly a much smaller aircraft, lacked the big long-range wing of the Catalina, didn't have the distinctive pylon that carries the Catalina's wing, nor had windowed waist stations like the Cat. Not every airplane is a copy of another: there are only so many practical ways to arrange the elements of a flying boat, so to some extent every flying boat is going to resemble somebody else's flying boat. reply | | Steven, 12.07.2011 06:46 who else thinks this a japanese copy off the PBY Catalina? reply | | Steven, 12.07.2011 06:46 who else thinks this a japanese copy off the PBY Catalina? reply | |
