Request for photos: PB2Y-3R (Bu#'s 7222-7242, 02737-02746)

[Ryan Keough]

I have been asked if anyone here has, in their collection, photography of any of the Rohr-built PB2Y-3Rs. What is being sought, more than anything else, is combat or service photography. We have production photography, but no in-service shots.

Thanks,
Ryan

Did Rohr ever build complete aircraft? I worked there for a bit early in my aerospace engineering career and they only built nacelles, thrust reversers and subcomponents.
