I have a B&W phote post card size of this aircraft. Taken in Hawaii possibly or is SoPac. Palm trees evident. Paint on the airframe not yet faded looking. Two men in foreground doing something with a bucket.

Hi Tim,
Would it be possible to get a copy of that photo. I am putting together a book on my great uncle who was on the same mission in which Major Hall’s plane went down. My great uncle was the pilot of 41-2442 Yokohama Express. He also actually flew this plane at least once to ferry the plane from “Buttons” to “Roses” airbase in October of 1942.
Regards,
TIm W.
