A B-18 bomber flies over the mountains

A heavy twin-engined bomber with a deep fuselage, a glazed nose and fixed-looking wheels half out of the nacelles flies level to the right; its tail bears the letters BS and a number, and below it, bare, deeply folded mountains lie in haze; in the foreground the engine nacelle and wing of the aircraft carrying the camera. The source identifies the aircraft as B-18As of the Army Air Corps. The B-18, derived from the DC-2 airliner, was the Air Corps' standard bomber before the B-17 arrived in numbers.
