Re: Photo USAAF Aircraft
George. I reckon Douglas no. "7" has the larger vertical tail of the Army C-33 cargo version, also a coloured (red ?) nose number I don't think an R2D would have ( all remained in US). As the seller bought some of these photos they could come from anywhere. There were 2 C-33s with the 19th. Transport Sqn. at Hickam on Dec.7 but the squadron wasn't activated until Jan. 1941 and the photo pre-dates that (they are not actually listed in Seventh AF records, both were damaged but repairable). Probably one of the 18 C-33s in the States somewhere.
