No, the Privateer can't land on water... AFAIK.

Tried Google, found for example this.. (and the information there looks quite accurate)

Quote

History: During World War II, the B-24-derived PB4Y-1 Liberator (originally designed for the US Army Air Corps) had performed very well for the US Navy as a maritime patrol plane, but in 1943 it was decided to ‘navalize’ the aircraft as a dedicated long-range patrol bomber. Three B-24’s were taken off the assembly line and reconfigured with lengthened fuselages, greater defensive armament, modified engine cowlings and a distinctive, single vertical tail. The resulting aircraft was designated the PB4Y-2 Privateer. With its 2,800-mile range, the Privateer was so useful that in the Navy took delivery of 739 of them, though few reached front line service by VJ-Day.

The modifications are listed quite clearly there. No mention of floats there...

Sorry Furball, you were obviously having fun here.

[edit] Fester, nice job! [/edit]
