This photo, date and location unknown to me, shows an A-18 just beyond the B-25. Some of the
fabric on the control surfaces and the starboard wing appears to be damaged, with an entire panel
on the wing having been stripped away preparatory to a repair job, presumably. Also visible in the
background are two B-26 Marauders, at least one Vultee Vengeance, a P-38 from the 1st Pursuit Group,
and a P-40 of the 31st Pursuit Group's HQ flight. Take a looksee at the P-40 on our 31st FG page...
