<p>A U.S. Navy Budd RB-1 <i>Conestoga</i> (BuNo 39295) at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland (USA). Note the North American PBJ <i>Mitchell</i> in the background.<br></p>
The photo is dated 24 May 1949, but in early 1945 all RB-1s were transferred to the War Assets Administration and on 5 July 1945, fourteen of them were sold to the National Skyway Freight Corporation (NSFC), which in turn sold four aircraft to Shell Oil. 39295 became the civilian NC45348 of NSFC in July 1945 and was out of use in July 1947.
