              Cockpit of a Curtiss Robin.  Wrongway Corrigan crossed the Atlantic in a highly modified Robin.
The cockpit in a standard Robin is very close to what Lindbergh had in the Spirit of St Louis.

              When I was a kid an going to the Pails Valley Oklahoma Fly-in one of these would always show up and is was a show stopper.  Originally I thought it was a pieced together contraption but eventually I learned it was a Australian crop duster that had a lot of engineering and thought put into the design.
I also saw one used in one of the later Mad Max movies.  This is a cool formation photo.

              Look at how little this plane is; no wonder it had three wings! Anyone know what it is? Did it fly very well?
