Summary

Description

Four U.S. Navy Consolidated PBY-5 Catalina aircraft in flight over a glacier in the Alaskan coast, 22 August 1942.

The wartime censor has tried to erase the squadron code on the first PBY, which appears to be "43-P-16". VP-43 operated from Nazan Bay, Atka Island, against the Japanese on Kiska and Attu Islands.
