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)?

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?
