A Hendricks YB?

Post by Dan Johnson »

Grabbed this one recently. Figure that based on the number on the nose it might be a Hendrick's Field YB. Interesting to see the nose set up. Back of the photo says it was taken on a cross country flight to Richmond Virginia.

That's a nice photo, Dan.
Evidently it became a normal practice to just stow the forward gun bubble at the bottom when no weapons were aboard. I've seen several photos of YBs without armament and the nose is rotated like this one in most of the pictures.
