Note the skin wrinkles at the corner of the bombardiers canopy, both planes. Every time you show a B-18A, I'm so thankful we had the Boeing B-17 when we went to war.

Those Wrinkles look like ice damage from chunks thrown onto the fuselage by icing of the props. The Shorts 360's I worked on showed damage very mush like that.
I agree that we were lucky we did not have to start the war with B-18's & B-23's!.

Naval Air Station New York (Floyd Bennett Field) sponsored my Sea Explorer Ship when I was in the scouts. I bicycled over that bridge many times.

I wonder if the park still has that P2V.

On 24th December 1937, the first prototype of Macchi C.200 Saetta (also known as Macchi-Castoldi M.C.200), successfully performed its maiden flight, flown by chief test pilot Giuseppe Burei. The aircraft was designed by Mario Castoldi, an Italian aviation engineer and designer, and proposed as future modern fighter airplane for the Italian Air Force (Regia Aeronautica).

This is a report prepared by General MacArthur's staff on the surrender of Japan in 1945 that may be interesting.
