Re: Photos USN Interwar

Clint,

Thanks for locating that interesting San Diego collection. One shot in particular which caught my eye was the Curtiss BF2C from VB-5B with the fabric missing from the wings.

This aircraft was BuNo 9592 which suffered the indignity of being "winged" by a careless sentry with a Very pistol. Not only did the fabric burn off but the structure was so distorted that the aircraft was deemed beyond repair. The date was 17 August 1935.
