PBY Catalina International Association PBY / Catalina Veteran Database

---

The scope of this database is nothing less than listing biographies of as many PBY/Catalina veterans as possible! I've only just started - if you're a PBY / Catalina veteran, or you know one, you can use this form to add to the database over the Internet. Feel free to e-mail me at Eric_Mitchell with any comments or further information.

Unfortunately, upgrading the server has made by ancient Intersolv drivers obsolete. The latest version costs over $4,000, so I'm using Microsoft's ODBC drivers. They're slow beyond belief, can't sort as well, and add extraneous characters into the data. I'll look for a better solution but, until then, please bear with me.
