North Carolina State University's photo archive turned up a few goodies. Click on links for the huge enlargements:

Fairchild YF-1/C-8, dated 1939; anyone recognize the squadron insignia?

And the aft fuselage of a Martin Maryland donated by the Glenn L. Martin Co. to NC State College as a teaching aid, dated July 1942:

Hopefully I'll find more old Warbirds donated to school aviation departments. The search continues...
