Country:  | PBY-5A Takeoff / Landing Roll
Hello all I m working on an essy with the PBY as a prime feture, but I have not found the takeoff or landing rolls for the type. I am looking for the numbers on water and land. Also if any of you have information on H6K, H8K, Short Sunderland, or Martin PBM-5A, that would be great as well.

| How's this for a plot?
Friedrich Ferret, our intrepid rodent hero, infiltrates an American dock and hijacks a PBY. Unwittingly, he takes along a passenger! Mechanic Joe Johnson is comfortably asleep, nestled into the well with one of the floats! Unaware of this intruder, Freidrich sets a course for Germany. Unfortunately, the compass is broken and he ends up having to land in Sweden, where his second cousin, Archibald Ferretgerson, lives. As the two talk of the good old days over pints of Guinness, Joe wakes up! Realizing his dilemma, he makes a mad dash for the sea, and begins to swim. Will he make it to England? Find out next week!

Cute, you say? Sir, I have been insulted direly in my life, but never before so gravely as this. Retract thy statement at once!
No? Well then, draw thy sword, and say thee a last prayer!
