Marked on the back is an stamping from Consolidated Vultee at Lindbergh Field San Diego, CA. This is a photo of Bu No 59533, which is listed with this on a serial number registry:
FAW-14 Pool DEC;1945 VPB-109 JAN-APR;Not in flight, enemy action bombed, Loss date 5/24/45; Stricken 31 MAY 1945.(7.1.D.)
This aircraft, part of VPB 109, was one of the damaged aircraft from the Japanese Commando (Giretsu) raid on Okinawa on May 24th 1945.
The photo is in fair condition, with wavy edges, but I have done nothing to it as of yet. It is taken over what I believe are the mountain ranges east of San Diego- very beautiful image! Price is $50.00 plus shipping and packaging ( needs a tube for shipping). The frame is not included. The image is very nice. I cannot get a good clear photo of it because I don't have access to my layout table right now- it's snowed in. <p>
