Lots of goodies here! Interesting to see that Stearman in postwar markings - how long after the war was the Navy using them?
Hope Mr. Lovette wasn't in his truck...
Also, do you have any shots of NAS Glenview SNJs (V tail code)?

Those are great, thanks!

A color slide from the National Archives (as posted in the Bald Eagle Thread).-

In the slide 22 has gear doors but the B&W shows they have been removed. At 1st I was thinking the photos would have been taken about the same time but now the slide was probably taken probably earlier?

Does it have an identifying # such as the color slide?
