In reality, the PBY was a loner search plane used to detect
enemy presence in sea areas. They patroled different sectors multiple times per day. If an enemy was sighted, they would attack and radio in for a DD or bombers to follow up on the contact. The PBY could not defend itself against enemy fighters so it should never come near an enemy base or airfield. If it sighted a high AA firepower enemy warship, it would just shadow it and relay reports on speed and direction... JIM
