Curtis Shrike! I have this photo in my collection...

The photo itself actually looks worse. This was a demo of cleaning up an older photo that was damaged with bends, etc...

One of the most important airplane in history!!! This plane was used to develop technique of low level flying and that was normal to fly under the telephone wires line. One of the pilot of this plane led low level attack of B-24 on Ploesti.

More image, please, more.... !!!

Aviation lexicon, small covers over the wheels only are known as 'Pants' but full strut and wheel covers (like the A-12) are know as 'Spats' whereas white covers on dress shoes worn by rich guys were 'spats' :? :?
But, on the other hand, we fillet (filla) a fish but apply fillet seal or fillet fairings to an airplane :roll: :roll:
