BOEING F3B-1 Squadron ID 2-F-18

The subject is 2-F-18, visible only as the aft fuselage in the image you can see by clilcking the link in the left sidebar. This airplane, identified as a Boeing F3B-1 in the Register, was flown solo to Tucson by P.M. Nold on 4/6/1929. We may reasonably guess that this picture was taken near that date at Tucson.

A history of VF-2, with which the airplanes in this and the image above were based, is available at this link. The history corroborates and describes the change of airplanes from Hawks to Boeings.
