Indexed description and specification panel read. Direct page retrieval failed; no original manual inspected.
How to read it
The page also describes the early prototype: its engine, crew and armament must not be merged with PBY-5 specifications. Museum numbers are not a mission crew return or proof of the variant on every Bismarck/Midway sortie. Survival and production superlatives not adopted.
