Consolidated P2Y Seaplane

The Consolidated P2Y was an American flying boat used by the United States Navy during the 1930s. It belonged to the development of long-range maritime patrol aviation before the more famous PBY Catalina. Its wing and hull arrangement reflected the transitional aircraft technology of that period. Its parasol wing and hull arrangements belonged to the generation before the more famous PBY Catalina. Navy patrol squadrons used it for long-distance flying and fleet reconnaissance. Later flying boats improved endurance, handling, and equipment, reducing the P2Y’s front-line importance before the major Pacific campaigns. Flying boats connected long-distance patrol aviation with water bases where conventional land runways were not always available.
