Ed the plane behind the "Peggy" (not "Betty") is a Yokosuka P1Y1 "Frances" one of 3 taken from Yokosuka to the US on 3 Nov. 1945 on the escort carrier USS "Barnes" CVE20; she made 4 ferry trips in 1945. ID numbers were chalked on the rear fuselage.
They were given the Evaluation numbers FE1700 / 1701 / 1702.
