Thank you evansb. A lucky off the cuff guess on my part. Pretty sure those were Pan American uniforms, water out the office windows, narrow cockpit...

Sorry for they delay in my posting. Here is the next What cockpit.

Just found the original myself, don't know why I missed it. PBM 5A Mariner. Evansb continues to uphold his reputation as a top spotter

How about the Dauntless? I'm not so upon cockpits but is that a sight for dive bombing? If so ther are few possibilities. RR

Not from Douglas. It is a Vought dive bomber, but not the V-173 or XF5U-1.
