The somewhat obscure comic strip, "Sherman's Lagoon," had a
fairly creditable PBY in its July 20 cartoon:

any PBYs that are used as water bombers (don't think they'd be very
good at it...) but this strip has had realistic WW II aircraft
previously--a TBF/TBM a couple of years ago IIRC.


I believe the beginning of the film "Always" had a PBY taking on water in
the same manner.
