LukeFF Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Speculation on my part as to why they put the wooden part: The museum got the plane without the canopy, for whatever reason. They built a ridiculous caricature of a replica canopy that is on the plane to this very day. Because the canopy fitted quite poorly to the windshield leaving a noticeable gap, they added wood to fill that so it doesn't look that bad. Correct. In this book here: http://www.amazon.com/In-Cockpit-Inside-History-Making-Aircraft/dp/0061684341/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1410466289&sr=8-2&keywords=in+the+cockpit , the authors note the wooden frame is a mockup that was added after restoration.

Lanius Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Is there flat tail wheel in photograph plane? Wondering does it change anything?
