Hi Gerben...

Yes, I'm familiar with the "De Marine Vliegt" video and have seen it previously. It's been a a while, tho, so I failed to make the connection with the image I posted. Thank you for the reminder.

I'm interested to learn more about the varied national insignia on these Catalinas. So far as I know, all of the first 36 PBYs ordered prewar were delivered with the orange triangle markings and painted rudder. However, the film above is from 1941 and shows that the insignia has already been painted over. I thought the orange insignia wasn't replaced until February(?) 1942. Were any of these painted over before the Japanese attack? Is it known for sure that this footage was shot before the war?

On another note, I see that you've written an article that discusses the delivery of P-40s to Java by Seawitch. I can't find it online. Is it possible that I can obtain a copy of that article offline?
