Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina BuNo. 2459 rolled off the Consolidated production line only days after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and became one of the first five amphibious PBY-5A's accepted by the U.S. Navy on December 22, 1941. Assigned to VP-73 as aircraft number "9", it headed to Iceland and began patrolling the treacherous North Atlantic for German U-Boats as they waged a devastating war on shipping convoys supplying England and other Allied nations. Read the rest of the story of this incredibly historic aircraft including the 3.5 U-Boat victories it has to its record at the American Heritage Museum's website at: www.americanheritagemuseum.org/aircrafts/consolidated-pby-catalina/See the PBY-5A when it makes its first public appearance at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh - July 20-26, 2026.

Short Film Showing: Oh, Johnny! Tale of a D-Day Veteran

June 8, 2024 @ 2:00 pm, ending 3:00 pm

Free with standard museum admission

John Santillo, a World War II D-Day survivor, travels back overseas for the 75th D-Day Anniversary to relive his time at war. Through a story that moves between the past and present, John opens up about the years he spent overseas using his unique blend of charisma, optimism and humor that captivates everyone he meets along his journey.

The film follows two narratives; John’s life as a soldier during the 1940s and his 2019 D-Day Anniversary trip to France. Through the interweaving of these two stories, the film contrasts John’s time as a young man drafted into the Army with his view on the war now as a 97-year-old veteran. While he faces haunting memories from his past, John comes to grips with how deeply the war has affected him.
