I am building a model of the Curtiss NC4 flying boat. I have good scale drawings and some images of exterior. I really need cockpit info, however. Anyone aware of good reference photos of these areas? I particularly need color of the seat upholstery. Even if no photos, is anyone aware of the color of the seats?
Any good books on the subject?

Drop me a line. I can put together a nice packet of material for you.

Contact the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola. They have the original NC-4. I have a number of photos I have taken of it, but you cannot get up into the cockpit. They have helped me on other research projects.
You may also want to get a copy of "First Across!" by Richard K. Smith. No longer published by the Naval Institute, but I found 23 on Amazon tonight. Has some pictures, but nothing really of the cockpit. Fascinating story even if the pictures are no help.
