CURTISS HELLDIVER

As I was walking around the Helldiver, looking for interesting angles to shoot, one of the crew asked if I wanted a shot of the cockpit. He said, "If you do, just get up on the wing, go right up and get a close-up." I said, "It's OK for me to climb up on the wing?" He said, "Sure, just be careful, it's a little more steep than you might think." So I got up on the wing, peered into the cockpit and got this shot. I was surprised he let me do it. I wouldn't have just stepped up on the wing if I didn't have permission. The Helldiver and B-17 crew members were very friendly.
