| Bill Koston ch6930@core.com , OH | I have an actual framed photograph (approx. 14" x 24") of
a XPB2Y-1. The photogarph is of the plane in flight and the numbers on the tail of the plane are XPB2Y-1 0453. The photograph is signed by an A.S.Nelson or A.G.Nelson and the date under the signature is 3/19/41. I assume this person was the captain or crew member. I have tried to find information about the history of this particular plane but have not had much luck. Any info anyone has about this plane (0453) or about "Nelson" would be appreciated.
