On 8 December 1941, one day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Catalina A24-15 crashed into a hill during a night time take off at Port Moresby. All on board were killed. Earlier that day Japanese aircraft had been sighted over Kavieng and Rabaul.

An incident in which a US Navy Wildcat F4F Wildcat mistook a No. 11 Squadron Catalina for a Japanese aircraft resulted in the adoption of what became the modern RAAF Roundel. At the time RAAF aircraft were using the RAF roundel and the USN aircraft mistook this for the Japanese red circular aircraft marking. This incident led to the adoption of a Roundel consisting of the same blue ring surrounding a red kangaroo in motion.
