Can You Help Me? I would love to find any information on this plane. My Grandfather, James Siler, served in the Navy between 1922 to 1926 or 27. He could have taken this picture at one of the Bases he was station at . He was station in the Panama Canal and Off of the coast of China on a little island and most of his time in San Diego any help would be great. Thanks again Randy Meador.
