Someone here know their WW2 USAAF
aircraft pretty well? Trying to identify a 2-seat
USAAF plane with BC-224-A installed for the
rear seater. It has a long glassed cockpit. Looks
like the rear seater slides his cockpit closure
forward into and under the rest of the cockpit
glass. When he slides this forward, there is
no other glass portion behind behind him, only
the metal aircract fuselage, which looks like
the line of the cockpit open rises slightly to
the airframe proper. The 224-A is on the
surface right in front of rear seater. I assume
the BC-307-A is on a surface below. Would
be extremely difficult to adjust, i think. This
in Radio News, May 1942. I believe the photo
actually taken before outset of WW2.
Thanks- Hue Miller
