Return of the Catalina

In 1943 a few brave men reconnected an empire. They flew Catalina flying boats non stop for 32 hours across enemy territory, breaking the Japanese air blockade of Australia. Despite their brave efforts, the crews of the Double Sunrise Flights were never recognised for what they did.

Today a few brave men hope to change that, as they resurrect a 70 year old Catalina flying boat, and fly it halfway across the world from Spain to Australia - in order to preserve the memory of the Double Sunrise Flights. Their epic journey, will inspire you to persevere and to never give up hope.
