Steve, I was wondering about that jig too, also wishing to see more assembly line pix from axis powers. I thought this one was especially cool -- look at the size of that thing, wouldn't it be something to see (and hear!) on the warbird circuit today??

Can anyone provide the type for last photo in group 2? German? Curved shape.

Great stuff!

All I have on this is "Vought F4U Corsair production"
I'm guessing a fuselage assembly jig

Have to say "Gotcha" on this one - it's a display being set up in an Army hangar, not a factory; three P-36s, a B-18A with an experimental cannon setup in the lower nose, and an Airacuda. Is this at Wright Field?

Not so sure that's Corsair! Looks awfully long! Fuselage wasn't built in one piece! Cant make out the wordsd on the star banner other than numbers. Somebody's gonna have the answer!! :supz:

Looks like a Goodyear logo on the bottom of the banner; could this be a blimp gondola (built upside down)?

Good catch. I'd say the diameter of the fuselage (or gondola) is too large to be a Goodyear Corsair...
