Boeing F4B-3 of VF-1B landing on USS Saratoga (CV-3)
Here we see a Boeing F4B-3 of VF-1B landing on USS Saratoga (CV-3). This aircraft can be identified securely as an F4B-3 or F4B-4 by the curved trailing edge to the rudder, but frustratingly the wing cuts off both the rest of the tail and the end of the designation, so we can't be sure which type it was. However the words U.S. Navy painted under the wings only appeared on the F4B-3, so this is probably that model. The -4 also had bomb racks under the wings, which don't appear here.
