The cockpit section of BuNo 144832 is currently under restoration at the Aviation Museum of Kentucky; the group taking care of the restoration is posting photos on Facebook on a regular basis and there are some useful ones for me.

I am still looking for good photos or drawings showing the "transition" between the cockpit and the aft compartment. Are there any photos showing this area? Thanks for pointing out which aircraft had the CLE wing - this makes it even more important to chose the exact aircraft I want to build at a very early stage.
