Found these pics on that Archives site, but the quotes are missing so I thought I would fill in the missing info.

"Now see if this were a Stearman wing, we would be replacing it and burning the old one when we roast marshmellows. But because its a N3N, we just need to fix and we are ready to go!!!"

"Hey Jack, you ever thought about buying one of these when the war is over???? I bet it would make a great cropduster" "Naw, I hear the navy is going to keep them around for another ten years. You better get a stearman, I heard there selling them over at the five and dime but you better hurry. Some guy wants to buy them to make toothpicks."
