Long-range PBY Catalina patrol aircraft helped close dangerous gaps in convoy protection across the North Atlantic. Accepted by the U.S. Navy on December 22, 1941, PBY-5A Catalina BuNo 2459 was sent to VP-73 in Iceland, where it became the first PBY credited with sinking a U-boat on August 20, 1942 when it sank U-464.
