My grandfather was manning the front deck and is in there somewhere.  Just checked up on his diary and the dates match on when they came back after 3 years in the pacific.  4 kamikaze hits and the New York held out pretty well.  Pity he died a couple years ago.  He was always thrilled to find another picture of the old girl.  I bet he could have pointed himself out.

Zulu you might wanna research the N-1M "Jeep". The first flying wing designs were done as early as 1927.  The first tailless flying wing for Northrop was the Jeep which had flown over 28 flights by November 1940.

I resemble that remark!  Thankfully I walked away from that crash.

Nothing a little Nomad duct tape wouldn't fix too :)
