Got a photograph with a couple of easy ID's, and a couple that aren't so easy. The first image is the whole photograph, dated 7/27/1940.



The following images are closer views of the various aircraft in the inspection line, from left to right.

Aircraft 1:


Aircraft 2:


Aircraft 3:


Aircraft 4:


Aircraft 5 (multiple):

#4 is a Douglas O-43, inline engine ancestor of the radial engine O-46.

I recognize #3, but can't recall the designation.

The B-10 is interesting..looks like the nose turret has been removed and faired over. I wonder if it had been relegated to a training role.

#3 - Ryan YO-51?

Pilot: "Flap switch works hard in down position."
Mechanic: "Flap switch checked OK. Pilot needs more P.T." - Flight report, TB-17G 42-102875 (Hobbs AAF)

O-52 was the Curtiss Owl. I'm not aware that the O-47 had a name.

I think Chris has it for #3!
