Douglas XP3D Profile
AIRCRAFT:   VP-11F XP3D-1 BUNO: Unknown "...I am a admirer of the US Navy Float- and Torpedoplanes for several years now.

Comparing the roofline to the photo of the plant on p182 of Reuben Fleet and the Story of Consolidated Aircraft leads me to believe the plane is left of the left/rear corner of the building with the photographer facing the small section of building that extends from the main rear wall. Note the other PBY behind 0454, facing the other direction..." WebSite: WWW.PBY.COM http://www.pby.com/ 10JUL2008
