Below are a few photos of Search and Rescue PBY's (Vickers OA-10A's) Catalina's and SB-17's. I believe a few of the SB-17's are from the 6th ERS, 5th ERG, 5th AF at Okinawa 1945-6.

That one's probably a play on the famous "Black Cats" moniker.

Those are Great photos and I think a great story is probably behind them. Very interesting that the Higgins air dropped boats all have art too. Quite a find Mark.
