one of the most intense bombing uses of the Cats was in the early stages of the Aleutian Campaign during WWII which some have called the 1000 mile war....they threw cats and other amphibs against the Japanese occupied islands and lost quite a few....it was a hairy hair raising close in effort but the Cats were what they had available. those were and are some of the greatest planes ever. Great pic and nice to see the oridinance in action.

Kind of reminds me of the actual four-engine Catalina mod:

There is this only one flying four-engine Catalina in existence, currently coded N5PY, which you can see a more current picture of amongst many other PBY photos here:
