PORT CLINTON — On March 24, 1945, a newly-built PBY-6A Catalina airplane was delivered to Floyd Bennett Field, a U.S. Naval Station in Brooklyn, New York, where it began service in World War II. Almost exactly 77 years later, on March 29, 2022, it arrived at Liberty Aviation Museum, the newest aircraft to join the museum’s extensive collection.
