Hi everyone, recently I made an added of the absolute ceiling and time to climb parameters, but these modifications has been removed. I just want to say which I have been performed some calculations using the Roskam's book as reference for deriving the parameters said previously. AmedeoF ( talk) 21:29, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
The handbook of erection and maintenance instructions describes the Catalina as having accommodation for 8 crew, so wouldn't that mean the crew count is meant to be 8 not 10? Yes, there's 10 roles, but navigation and radio are on the same station, and surely you only need two gunners across the waist and tunnel guns, which would fit the 8 crew limit if you have a pilot, copilot, bomber/bow turret gunner, mechanic and radar operator for the other 5 crew.
