The PBY War Story that regretably did not happen
Reading of all the finger pointing & accusations of incompetence made against the Intelligence Services after the Pearl Harbour attack it seems that one major point overlooked was that the Cats were not on patrol. Considering the capability of the acft as detailed in previous posts, the Cats would have provided good warning of the approach of the Jap Fleet & saved the day.
The Cats not being airborne on reccy appears to be a major screw up by the top brass.
