PBY-1 fuselage length needed. NOT PBY-5 as the tails were quite different.

Thanks in advance. I'm trying to scale one of my new drawings but cannot find the above info anyplace easily accessible to me. All websites give the data for the PBY-5/5A, which is no help at all.

I don't remember the exact source I used, but there's a list at the end of the table.


Edit: Original Navy Performance Data sheet lists length, level as 65 ft 10 in.

Aubi, thank you very much for the assistance. Odd how such a ubiquitous aircraft should be so hard to find.

No problem. SACs at the http://www.alternatewars.com/SAC/ are incredible source that are often different from what books have and include variants almost everyone else is ommiting. Also, I spend some 10 years collecting as much data as possible for all military aircraft, so i hope that our site www.valka.cz / www.armedconflicts.com would be also useful.
