Alex Gee -> Black Cat Raiders (10/15/2003 12:57:12 AM) Has anyone ever been able to use the Catalina effectivley in a night attack role in UV? I know it was done historically, but I am unsure of the specifics (squadron #, tactics, real life effectivness) I tried a google search but all that came up was the book by Richard Knott. I would like anyones experience in using the Cat in these night time raids. What squadron is best suited? Experience levels? What kind of targets can I expect to sink (I'm guessing transports or barges?). Thanks Alex Gee
