PBY-5A -- Tail Number XT147
The above photo is from the official CAT magazine around 1950.
The photo was taken at Kaitek airport, Hong Kong.
The national flag on the fin had already been replaced by Communist China's 5 star flag.
Clarence didn't know CNAC had PBY until he saw this photo.
As to the Convair 240, he believes they all belonged to CATC.
