Die PBY Catalina wurde in vielen verschiedenen Versionen von Consolidated, Naval Aircraft Factory, Canadian Vickers, Boeing Canada und in Russischer Lizenzproduktion hergestellt. Die frühen Versionen waren reine Flugboote, die späteren Versionen waren als Amphibium ausgelegt und mit einem einziehbarem Fahrwerk ausgestattet.
