The PB2B-1 was Boeing built eqivalent to the PBY-5 Catalina. A grand total of 240 aircraft were constructed at their Vancouver, B.C. plant site. Six went to the USN and served in VPB-91 and the balance were handed over to commonwealth countries via Lend-Lease agreements as follows: Seven to the RAAF, 34 to the RNZAF and the balance to the RAF as Catalina Mk. IVB. No known PB2B-1's are known to exist as of this writing.
