...but no shots of "the six possibles". Nevertheless, new field numbers:



42-29610/Hobbs #87 on the left.




Hobbs #30; serial is a short one beginning with 4, so I went through the 44-6XXX and 44-8XXX serials for Hobbs planes with accident reports. Four serials came up, but the most likely one seems to be 44-8064, damaged in a ground collision with B-17F 42-30978 on May 16, 1945. (Edit: new-found photo seems to show 44-8064 as #09; the next most likely one is 44-6068, damaged in a landing accident on May 21, 1945.)

And finally, a somewhat blurry shot of 42-102790; this is an 8x10 but the eBay image was small:

not sure if the G-65 is 42-102790 -- 2790 went to Lockbourne and Hendricks which both used oversized double digits on the nose.

I am thinking this is 42-102780 - assigned: Pyote, Biggs, Sioux City and Ardmore - all used the last 4 on nose - from the style and position, I would say this is a Ardmore

eBay to the rescue with a clearer shot - it's 790:
