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.
