Default P39 elevator & aileron construction?

And the DC-3.

Yes... and quite a few bombers as well... B-17 comes to mind...

I recently visited the Niagara Aerospace Museum (thumbs up!) and got the
opportunity to see a P39 Airacobra close-up...and I noticed that the
elevator and ailerons (& possibly the rudder as well) were
fabric-covered, instead of aluminum like the rest of the plane. Is this
the way they were built?
