Old thread, but nice to see again.

You can zoom in on these pics from NARA by using the sliding scale on the upper left side of the picture.

If you zoom in on the P-66 in the upper left of 46941681 you can see the red centers still in place.

I like the "General" in white on the tire.

If you do a GOOGLE search with "kodachrome vultee fortune" as the key words.
You will find a great color photo of the VULTEE factory. It has a p-66 in the
final stages of production and a whole line of BT-13's. I would love to get a large
quality print of the photo, but have never had any luck tracking a source down.
