North American O-47 (Observation aircraft)

[Louis]

The North American O-47 was a 1930s observation/photo-reconnaissance aircraft used by the then named US Army Air Corps.

The crew at their positions. Note the position of the rear canopy glazing, which the gunner has rotated forward to deploy his weapon. Unless the observer needed a picture of the upper wing as shown here, he would normally deploy his camera through cut-outs in the fuselage under the wing.

Then scroll down a bit and read the next line...... Oh.
I need to scroll more before getting stuck in a quandary.
