  I always wondered why there was no front windscreen; how did Lindbergh see where he was going? Wikipedia explains ...
  
  " ... At Lindbergh's request, the large main and forward fuel tanks were placed in the forward section of the fuselage, in front of the pilot, with the oil tank acting as a firewall. This arrangement improved the center of gravity and reduced the risk of the pilot being crushed to death between the main tank and the engine in the event of a crash. This design decision meant that there could be no front windshield, and that forward visibility would be limited to the side windows. This did not concern Lindbergh as he was accustomed to flying in the rear cockpit of mail planes with mail bags in the front. When he wanted to see forward, he would slightly yaw the aircraft and look out the side.

  Brings back a lot of memories (It is my understanding that Ricou Browning, underwater photographer and expert swimmer who worked at Silver Springs played the Creature!)

  cool

• Florida Memory said:

  Yes. Mr. Browning portrayed "the Creature" in the water while Ben Chapman portrayed him on land. Mr. Browning continued on in the film making business as a producer and director.
