1937? It's probably a PBY-1, then, not a PBY-5. And there are only 60 in existence- all of them property of the United States Navy. I don't think the PBY-5 entered service until 1940.

Are you're characters US military? If not, how about a surplus P2Y or F5L, or one of the PN aircraft instead? I tend to favor a surplus F5L for "totally not Call of Cthulhu" campaigns. Chaosium's Secrets of the Congo includes some information on the license-built Curtiss models.

And the Grumman Goose is, of course, awesome as well. But it was just in prototype in 1937.
