David, I'm curious to know why you think tis is a B-12 versus the more common Martin B-10. Are there subtle differences that tip you off to the Pratt& Whitney engines?

Aloha Rick,
Because the imbedded caption said so...and I am slowly trying to CORRECT those errors for the webmaster. Thanks for your Mark I eyeballs...
and for the unit insignia, what do you have?
Cheers,
David

The roster for December 7 1941 stated several B-12's assigned to Hawaii.

Hi Nate,
B-10s were there before the B-12s...
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
David
