Details of the <strong>Be2c</strong> in the<br />
Imperial War Museum,<br />
Lambeth, London.<br />
This aircraft has no windshield<br />
which was unusual.<br />
The center section of the upper<br />
wing has a cut-out that was<br />
applied to some aircraft.<br />
The observer had small cut-out<br />
windows on both sides in the<br />
front of the cockpit covering to<br />
enable an improved downward<br />
view.<br />
The V-8 engine with dual<br />
exhaust stacks, typical for this<br />
aircraft.<br />
The rib stitching is clearly<br />
visible on this view of the<br />
undersid of the wingtip.<br />
Unfortunately also, that over the<br />
years, the trailing edge has<br />
become warped.<br />
