Guillow's PBY-5A #2. Depicts the Cat my dad flew while attacking the Tokyo Express at night off of Guadalcanal, 11-27-1942, an extremely hair-raising event. Probably even more so for the Japanese he was dropping bombs on. He was shot at (without ever being hit) so much that he was awarded two commendations from Admiral Halsey for being undeterred by being shot at on various occasions.
