PBY Catalina

The PBY Catalina was an American flying boat during World War II. It could be equipped with depth charges, bombs, torpedoes, and M2 Browning machine guns and was one of the most widely used multi-role aircraft of World War II.

In Call of Duty: World At War, the player is aboard a PBY-5A equipped as a Black Cat. This speacilized version of the PBY had retractable tricycle landing gear for amphibious operation, as well as a tail gun position, replaced the normal bow single gun position with bow "eyeball" turret equipped with twin .30 machine guns (some later units), improved armor, and self-sealing fuel tanks.
