Tony,

I would also think it's a Lockheed Neptune, the early version with flat cockpit roof.

Why?

It can't be a flying boat, because the wings are mid-fuselage mounted whereas most flying boats are shoulder winged. It's not a Halifax (unfortunately) because the windows behind the cockpit shouldn't be there and the top windows over the flight engineers position are missing. It is too long and sleder to be a Hudson.

        Changed my mind... P2V-5 or earlier is the clear choice - Richard Allnutt Fri Dec 20, 2002 01:53:37 PM
