Very interesting photo. Any additional information?


2-seater obviously. It was equipped with a mirror system so the back
seat guy could see.

in 2001 there was one of these nearing restoration completion at Kermit
Weeks place in Tamiami, FL.

It looks like a periscope, the other mirror being on the student's
headrest.

To be useful from the rear seat there'd have to be another mirror below it,
periscope fashion.
