The National Naval Aviation Museum
has a wonderful
PBY Cutaway Exhibit online.
The PBY Cutaway's road to the museum began
during World War II, when with wings and tail surfaces attached,
it flew training missions at Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola.
Damaged during its active service and deemed unflyable, it eventually
had a section of its skin removed and was placed in the back
wall of the School of Aviation Survival at NAS Pensacola. When
the school was closed, museum staff removed the aircraft from
the building for restoration and display.
