Catalina Memorial

Catalina Memorial
Part 3
27th and last Day - 27.06.2019 Last day in Australia

The monument was erected by the people of Cairns and surviving members of the Catalina Squadrons to commemorate the 320 airmen who failed to return while flying Catalinas in the South West Pacific campaigns during World War Two. Further plaques were added to the memorial in 1993.

The Catalina was designed in the 1930s as a long-range reconnaissance flying boat. The Royal Australian Air Force (R.A.A.F.) used them not just for reconnaissance and rescue, but also as bombers in the war against the Japanese. The Catalina`s had the highest loss rate of any R.A.A.F. aircraft in the south-west Pacific area. The Catalinas operated out of Cairns during World War Two.
