I found these interesting, and so I'll share them with you as well. Not my photos, just sharing them as well.
These are posted by a fella named Russ David Beckner, who I assume either owns them or took the photos.
Found more info :
"Some background on these...
Photos are from the archive of my father-in-law John Houser (Aeronca engineer). Many were rescued from the trash bin after Aeronca got out of personal aircraft.
After John's passing, I inherited his collection. Being a photographer by trade, I'm working my way through the prints, negatives and transparencies making hi res digital copies.
I don't own a plane, nor am I a pilot... but grew up in Middletown a half mile from the plant, and have been to every local Fly-In since the first in 1983."

Caption : TG-5 for the AAF, LNR-1 for the Navy. The AAF got nearly all of them though.
