MIflyer
1st Lieutenant
Note that in the last shot, Aircraft 62, it has the early insignia and the nose transparencies have been painted over with what looks like two additional machine guns installed.
Not also that on the earlier aircraft the carb air intake extends all the way to the lip of the cowl while on the later ones it is aft of the cowl. I am sure that simplified manufacturing and probably maintenance as well, but I wonder if there was a performance problem.
