About the subject

The United States Navy operated the PV-1 Ventura during World War II as a long-range patrol bomber and gunship for attacks on ground targets and shipping. After the war, newer aircraft replaced it in most roles, while some Venturas continued in training and reserve service. Surplus aircraft also entered private operation.
