Not seen this angle on this aircraft before. Interestingly, it clearly shows how much a product of late '30s design it is, so hefty. It reminds me of some of those Disney cartoon aircraft of the time!

What a THICK wing! We tend to forget that thick wings were going to be 'the future', back then. Anyone know 'The Gernsback Continuum'?
