I made 2 flights in a P-5. When those types of aircraft were on the ground I
was always amazed that they could
actually get airborne.

The Coronado was the PB-2Y made by Consolidated beginning around 1937. The
P5 (formerly the P5M) series were the Martin Marlins developed later
(1962)from the PBM Mariners.

Sorry Don, It was sent via email to me by a friend in NZ so I posted what I
got. I will ask him if he can do that and repost if he does.

Many thanks!

While you're asking, see if a TIFF file is an option. You can ZIP it, yEnc
it, RAR it or whatever suits you.

Interesting the inboard engines have 4 blade props and the outboards are 3.
Wonder what the reasoning there was?

[Boomerang]

The inboard four-bladed props were reversible. The two outboard engines had
standard three-bladed props. Better handling on the surface - large
freeboard area presented a control problem trying to turn into the wind in
any kind of a chop. The reversible props added directional control on the
surface of the water.

Never said it was a P-5. Just I flew in one and those types (meaning sea
planes) were ungainly ashore.
