As the handwritten caption on the photo notes, this is a photo of test pilot Ralph B. Virden (b. 1898 - d. 1941). Here he is standing next to a Boeing Model 40. Ralph Virden would ultimately perish while performing high-speed dive tests of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning (Lockheed YP-38 Lightning, USAAF Serial No. 39-689) on November 4, 1941.
