Notes

↑ Of the 108 F2A-3s initially in service witht the US Navy, many would almost immediately be transferred to the USMC. Exactly how many is unclear.
↑ 2,661 is the total amount of PBYs produced in the United States during the course of the war. The exact number that served with the U.S. Navy is unknown.
↑ The single Model 10 in use with the Navy, designated the XR2O-1, was designed specifically for use by the Secretary of the Navy.
