Not the "Andrews Sisters", but 3 very attractive gals--I'd be content with the one in the middle-were I "back in that day"-- Glenn Miller, Betty Grable, Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable enlisting in the USAAF--
Not to be a nitpickin' fussbudjit busybody, but ain't that a Spit that "Hurricane" Guthrie is steppin' out of?? Did they ever put a Malcolm on the 'cane?
Cheers,

It wasn't, as far as I know, but a few did have a one-piece canopy, the same basic shape as the standard canopy, without the central frames, and with a blister on each side.
