The logbook of "Strawberry Bitch" indicated that she left Freeman Field in September of 1946 enroute to Davis-Monthan for storage.  This, plus tracking the removal of the base chapel and key buildings enabled us to pinpoint the photo to a 30 day window.  This was key in establishing before and after photos of excavated sites on Freeman Field.
