ABOUT THIS BOOK: Detailing a proud chapter in naval aviation history former PBM pilot Richard Hoffman has written the first comprehensive history of Mariner operations. This versatile seaplane was first deployed in 1941 during the Battle of the Atlantic when it helped sink ten German U-boats. The following year it became a mainstay of the Naval Air Transport Service as the first aircraft to provide a vital link between Hawaii and the South Pacific. In combat Mariners participated in every major offensive campaign from the Marianas to Iwo Jima and Okinawa sinking enemy submarines ships and aircraft. They also served as the main rescue aircraft saving hundreds of airmen and seamen in spectacular open-sea rescue operations. At war's end they were the first aircraft into Tokyo Bay. Yet the Mariner has long been overshadowed by its famous counterpart the PBY Catalina. This book corrects the oversight by recognizing the Mariner not only for its contributions to World War II but also the postwar years when it was involved with the exploration of the Arctic and Antarctic and the Korean War. Hoffman offers dramatic details of PBM fights with Chinese MIGs and patrol and reconnaissance missions. The author also highlights the seaplane's hazardous rescue missions with the Coast Guard and its service with foreign armed forces. Striking photos of Mariners in action accompany the narrative and a list of all PBM casualties is appended. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Aviation; Military & Warfare. ISBN: 1591143756.
