The PBY Pilot

If you don't know what a PBY is, take a look and do some reading here.

And, meet Walter Hartmann:  Pilot of a Martin PBM-3 and PBM-5.


Walter didn't say much about his own flying experiences.  But, I did find out he was responsible for sinking several Japanese ships and flew a lot of anti-submarine warfare (ASW) patrols. 

But, he was VERY interested in telling me about this photographer he met who took these:



That's history right there.   That was...amazing.

Thanks Walter!
