Here's a question that's been niggling me for a long time.
Could the cadre of experts here reveal how they discover the answers to the esoteric challenges we are getting these days? When we were looking at B17s and Sopwith Camels it was all very well, we might have seen one somewhere but when it comes to an obscure Austrian amphib that I have never heard of (and I like to think I'm pretty well up on aircraft types) I begin to wonder how the heck anyone could know what it looks like in the office. Are there web resources for cockpits of forgotten aircraft that you all trawl through (I've never found one) or do you do it by analysis of canopy frames or sumpn? I mean, you cant identify an individual aircraft from an Avro-like control yoke that might also be german can you...or can you?
Any of you wheels care to spill the beans?
