WARBIRDS IN OAHU SKIES: World War II era naval aircraft fly in formation over Oahu, celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the End of WWII Commemoration. Photo taken Sept. 1, 2020. The Pentagon caption doesn’t identfy the aircraft. Yes, they’ve had sloppy moments this year. Perhaps fretting over the ChiCom/Wuhan virus has distracted them. Or maybe they’ve been set up like Arch Duchess Nancy Pelosi von Blow Wash. Whatever. I’ll take a stab at aircraft identification. The two seaplanes appear to be PBY Catalinas of some type — aircraft assigned patrol bomber, long range surveillance and air-sea rescue missions. The Catalinas also had liaison and communications relay missions. The single engine combat plane looks like a TBF Avenger — a torpedo bomber that could handle other missions as well — tactical bomber, anti-submarine.
