Nearly identical to previous models in the Mariner series, the PBM-5A was the largest amphibian ever built and could be equally equipped for anti-submarine warfare, air-sea rescue, or transport use. As with earlier models, it was capable of carrying both bombs and torpedoes and could be fitted with up to eight .50 caliber machine guns.

Some of the 36 amphibian PBM-5A’s built after WW II were used by VR-21 to administer the newly formed Mariana’s Trust Territory in the Central Pacific. Most PBM pilots and aircrewmen through 1944 took tran-sitional PBM training at Banana River Naval Air Station, which was commissioned near Cocoa, Florida, in 1940.
