***Grandfather was a PBY Black Cat pilot in WWII.
He kept a couple similar photos of Douglas SBD bombers that look like they were taken at the same time. The picture and the rough cut negative and a camera instruction book were all with items from Dec 1941-1944.
Interesting side note:
He had a picture of him group picture of him with other PBY pilots in front of a PBY Catalina dated May 11, 1942 “the day after we had a ten minute running battle with a Jap (anese) 4 engine patrol number in the Coral Seas…our gunners knocked out one of his engines….We had seven holes in our plane.”
They all looked so cool and calm. Like they went bowling.
