One of my earlier photos, taken in 1937 and showing an early F3F from the initial production batch for the US Navy. In those Black and White photography days we always preferred a Number 10 striped plane because the black always looked best on the finished photo. Red (Number 1) would come out dark but never as dramatic.

A rare one I think, at least it is the only one that I was ever able to photograph. It is a rebuild of B-57B 52-1573. Soon after this photo was taken, the RB-57F was redesignated to WB-57F.
