The best NE-1 photos I've seen, shamelessly lifted off of the web. Top photo taken at NRAB Peru, Indiana? A later post read:
"In Mel Shettles' book US Naval Air Stations of WWII Vol 1, pg 41, he states that on September of 1942 "limited flight training in NE-1 Piper Cubs began from an open grass area of the base". I must admit that the background does sorta of look like a farm environment of the mid-west. Shettle goes on to state that in Jan'43 the base was renamed NAS Peru only to be changed 3 mos later to NAS Bunker Hill...eventually became Grissom AFB."
Ship 224 apprears to be 6th farthest from the camera.
