#OTD in 1951, this Catalina flying boat took off from Rose Bay (Sydney) on a pioneering flight to Chile. ⠀ ⠀ By 1951 the final ocean to be traversed for air travel was the South Pacific between Australia and South America. In this aircraft, famous Australian pilot P.G. Taylor pioneered an air route by island hopping across the Pacific from Sydney to Valparaiso. The #FrigateBirdII #Catalina #flyingboat, with its ability to land and take off in calm water, and its great endurance over long distances, was the ideal aircraft to accomplish the final aviation link around the world.⠀ ⠀ Find out more about this historic flight and other iconic objects from the #MAASCollection in our #Icons exhibition at #PowerhouseMuseum.
