| Keywords: outdoor Lot 3124-3: Paintings of Naval Aviation during World War II: Abbott Collection. #47: “Onto the Ramp.” Artwork by Joseph Hirsch. “Caught by the tail like some dripping sea monster, a Navy PBY patrol bomber is hauled from the water up the seaplane ramp at the end of a mission. Beaching these big, flying boats is a precision performance. Beaching crews must first wade out and attach wheel fittings under the hull to permit the plane to be rolled onto the ramp. A towing line is fitted to the tail, and up she comes under the tug of a snorting tractor. ” (7/10/2015).
