C2j is correct The photo is the cockpit of Lockheed Sirius Model 8, 'Tingmissartoq' (Inuit for "one who flies like a bird"). The aircraft was flown by Charles and Anne Lindburgh, on their 'North to the Orient' trip. You have control.

For some reason the 'Republic F-84' jumps to mind. No real logical reason, just did.

Sorry, mr fish, not the F-80. Correct time frame though. Not manufactured by Lockheed.

OK, Let's recap and see if we can get a clue...

1950's American, but NOT McDonnell, Republic, North American, Lockheed or Grumman. Who is left in the narrowed field?
