hi guys,
can anyone help with info on the DB7, according to Mr Bentley the top engine panel had a strange curve did this exist in real life or just in his mind, i can find no proof of it anywhere, either a photo or works manual image will do, all my images of the French DB7 the panel is not visible.

Attached is a photo set of the ONLY DB-7 in existence which is located at RAAF Amberely, Australia. It is a DB-7B however...

If the photo set does not reveal the answer to your question I suggest you contact Mr. Scott Thompson at http://www.aerovintage.com
as he wrote the book (literally) on the Douglas A-20 / DB-7 series of aircraft.
