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.

Speaker Series: Mud Pies and War Planes By Ashlen Hyatt Nunnery

February 13 @ 2:00 pm, ending 3:30 pm

Free with standard museum admission

“What happens to a family when a war steals not just a person, but the future they imagined together?”

Told through the eyes of a young girl coming of age during the Vietnam War, Mud Pies and Warplanes is a powerful and intimate memoir of love, loss, and legacy. As her father disappears into the unknown skies of Southeast Asia, she watches her mother struggle to hold their world together and begins to navigate a complex landscape of silence, strength, and survival.

Written with raw honesty and deep emotion, this story captures what it means to grow up in the shadow of war, and the quiet ways it reshapes everyone it touches.

About the presenter: Ashlen Nunnery is the daughter of late Capt. Leo G. Hyatt, USN (Ret.), a Navy pilot who became a Vietnam POW in 1967 when she was a little girl. Some of Capt. Hyatt’s original clothing and possessions during his imprisonment in the Hanoi Hilton are now on display at the American Heritage Museum.
