A Martin PBM-5 Mariner of Navy patrol squadron VP-47 rests on the handling deck of a seaplane tender amid rough seas off the Korean coast. Twin-engine flying boats like the Mariner flew long-range maritime patrol, anti-submarine, and search-and-rescue missions during the Korean War, operating from tenders that served as their mobile bases at sea. This image comes from the personal collection of Lt. Bancroft, a naval aviator of the era. Project: 218200
