This close-up view of the Flight Engineer's compartment shows the cook stove, and tool lockers for spare parts and tools. Under the Navy life vest were the three steps that led up into the "tower". To the right of the steps are two metalic water tanks. The white dashed line shows where the wheel strut and wheel would be on the amphibious version. To the left leads into the Navigator's / Radioman's comartment. To the right leads into the compartment that contains the four bunks used by the crew on long flights, and sometimes by rescued airmen. Look straight up and see into the "tower". |
