Bob,

The shiny Globe Swift is from 1946.

I spent some time trying to read the nameplate on the radial engine, but 
couldn't make it out.  Nice shot, looks like a clean installation on a 
vintage aircraft, but I can't match it to the photos of 7-cylinder radials 
that I find online.  Possibly a Continental R-670 configuration.

Nicely captured.
