How wide would you guys estimate that the planking visible in this photo is? 6"? 9"? Even the more distant stuff on the stern is fairly well visible

FINALLY figured out how to look at it (the one thats from Life).

Can't be more than about 5".

OK, I am trying another method here to upload the same photos, since there seem to be issues...

Got it working. Once I opened one from Navsource, they all appeared like magic.

Yes those are Seagulls.

Their tails are painted blue because she's in Division 3, their cowls are red because she's the first Section in the Division. If memory serves, the full cowl paint makes that Seagull the first aircraft in the Section.

Tracy can probably correct me.

Here is a better shot of the float plane. The rudder is marked SON-1, which was the Naval Aircraft factory version built SOC-3

I downloaded them to my Photobucket account, then posted them from there. I suspect that the viewability issue has something to do with the interface between Navsource's and FSM's websites.
