Summary
Centre wing section of a Fairchild Cornell, under restoration at the Tiger Boys Aircraft Works at Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Taken with permission from Mr. Tom Dietrich. This wing section, built using "new/old" techniques, is an outstanding example of Second World War American manufacturing techniques. Spars and skins are made of wood, which saved precious metal for the war effort. Metal ribs simplify construction. All metal parts can be made using U.S. mass production techniques of the 1940s.
