The Short Sunderland of Papua New Guinea

歴史

第二次世界大戦中、ニューギニア周辺の広大な海を長く偵察するために、巨大な水上飛行機が必要とされました。Short Sunderlandを含む連合軍の飛行艇は、Port Moresbyのような島の基地から運用されました。

これらの大きな飛行機は水面から直接離着陸できたため、滑走路を必要としませんでした。彼らはCoral Seaの補給線を脅かす敵の船や潜水艦を捜索しました。

現地の乗組員や沿岸の監視員たちは、これらの海洋哨戒機をよく誘導し、ニューギニアで戦う部隊を維持するための補給線を守る助けとなりました。
