Description
Hand colored photo from 1942
Original title: Vultee bombers nearing completion on the final assembly line
Photographer: Jack Delano
Location: Nashville Municipal Airport, Nashville, Tennesee
As far as my research tells me, these planes should be a v72 dive bomber, but planes all look the same to me.
This is the Vultee Aircraft assembly line, assembling the v72 dive bomber, at the final stages right before painting. That yellow color is primer, Zinc Chromate, its applied before its assembled, then they rivet over that. The planes had a closed cockpit that held two people, had a fixed gun and a flexible version for the rear cockpit.
