The PBY-5A Catalina Tee (Front Print) features the exclusive artwork of Aerographics featuring PBY-5A Catalina Bu.No. 2459 on the front - a tribute to the most historic PBY Catalina in existence. The sleeve designs feature the U-boat victories of 78-P-9 and the American Heritage Museum Logo.

During the early years of World War II, the Battle of the Atlantic became a struggle for survival as German U-boats threatened to sever the shipping lifelines sustaining Britain and the Allied war effort. 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. It went on to claim a total of 3.5 U-Boat victories over its history and is not only the oldest flying PBY in existence, but is also the most historic!

Built on the dependable Gildan 5000 heavy cotton platform, this tee is made for everyday comfort and durability. Crafted from 100% tightly knit cotton, it delivers crisp print detail and long-lasting color while maintaining a soft, breathable feel. The medium-weight fabric makes it ideal for year-round wear.

A classic fit and crew neckline provide a relaxed, timeless look. Reinforced shoulders help the shirt maintain its shape through repeated washes, and the seamless body offers a smoother, more comfortable fit. The tear-away label ensures irritation-free wear.

Made using ethically grown and harvested US cotton and certified for safety and quality, this tee blends aviation heritage with reliable craftsmanship.
