Way to go Jim!!!!!! Looks like they designed and built it, then realized they forgot to put a cockpit in. Sooooooooooooooo...........they just replaced the sheet metal with perspex and put the controls under the perspex.

Aaron, at the time the Stearman was being designed/developed (late 30's), the "greenhouse" canopy was a popular concept, especially with the Germans.

I have to say that it wasn't a real attractive design!
