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.

The Vought F4U Corsair, an iconic American fighter aircraft of World War II and the Korean War, is renowned for its unique inverted gull wing design and powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine. First flown in 1940, it excelled in speed, range, and firepower, serving primarily with the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, as well as other Allied air forces. The Corsair played a crucial role in achieving air supremacy, conducting ground attacks, and carrying out reconnaissance missions. Its exceptional performance contributed to a highly favorable kill ratio against enemy aircraft, particularly in the Pacific Theater, making it a revered aircraft in military aviation history.
