I agree, the PBY should be in game. It played a huge part in the Revolutionary War as well, as the British forces were first spotted by Capt. Paul Revere while on routine patrol, giving the Patriots adequate time to call to arms.

The PBY was actually a secret weapon used to destroy the second death star
