Moses03, thank you very much for the scans. That scan you have in your post helped close the debate on what was in the nose of Howard Hughes' aircraft. This is an early photo of his aircraft, before the extra shielding was added to the nose perspex, and clearly shows an "over-under" light arrangement, with a larger light on the bottom and smaller light on the top. That, along with my recent acquisition of "The American Aviator: The Howard Hughes Story" (which had some nice footage of his Super Electra) has given me a much clearer image of his aircraft (and the World's Fair emblem as well.)
Thank you all for your help. I am in the VC right now, most everything else is done for the initial model. Lots of good info here, what a fantastic help!
Hey Willy, any photos of those Hornet engines? Also, do you have any idea where the air intake is on that engine? That is still keeping me from doing a Hornet-engined Super Electra.....
