This print showcases the remarkable Cataline flying boat as it takes off on a daring 24-hour patrol over the vast Atlantic Ocean. Serving its purpose with excellence, this aircraft played a crucial role in both searching for U-boats and safeguarding Atlantic convoys during World War Two. It was precisely one of these magnificent flying boats that spotted the infamous Bismarck, setting off an awe-inspiring chase that ultimately led to her destruction.
