P39 elevator & aileron construction?
In article ,
Chris Wells wrote: 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? Yup. The P-51 also had a fabric-covered rudder; early-model Corsairs had a fair amount of fabric on the wings, too.
