USN (?) Catalina to Russia July 1941

Hi guys

US Representative Harry Hopkin's flew aboard a PBY Catalina to Russia on 31 July 1941 for talks with Stalin's representatives regarding Lease-Lend etc.

I believe the Catalina was a USN machine 6416 flown by Lt Mackinley and eventually alighted at Archangel on 1 August. Return date unknown.

Can anyone confirm Catalina's identity etc.

Cheers
Brian
