I found this photo of the 306th Bomb Group's Eager Beaver on eBay. Everything's out of focus and it's in dire condition, but I think it has a charming quality. The seller was based in Pennsylvania and I think it's safe to assume this was taken around the time the plane was acquired by the Williamsport Technical Institute as a "ground aeronautical laboratory".
Thanks to Dan Johnson for his help on this one.

Re: 41-24487 Eager Beaver
Its interesting that at that point, Eager Beaver was a curiosity without much thought to her future. Had she survived, she'd be gold now.
