Description:
This is a long shot--but if you happen to have a copy of the November 2004 Chesapeake Bay Magazine lying around, there's a very nice, long article about flying boats, beginning on page 52. The article is mainly about those produced at the Glenn Martin plant on the Middle River, just above Baltimore, but it also includes the Boeings and others. (Oddly, there's no mention of the PBY.) There are lots of interesting photos that I'd never seen before, insluding this one of the Hawaiian Clipper being launched at Dark Head Cove (near Middle River), in 1936.

Throughout the morning the Hawaii Clipper (23july 1938, Capt Terletsky FO Tex Walker) droned towards Manila, deverting slightly to the south of a tropical depression. Radio Officer Mc Carty tapped out regular position reports: 'Rainy flying conditions , head winds,cruising at 10 000ft'.At noon they were 565mls from Manila, Mc Carty tapped out 'Still in rain, rough air in the tops.<br />When asked to transmit a the midday weather sequence, he tapped 'having trouble with static'.<br />It was the last message ever received from Hawaii Clipper. A large oil slick was found and there was speculation that the Japanese may have had something to do with the loss.<br />(From China Clippers) Great story Dan.
