Title: Recognize the man? I.D. the plane
Post by: Widewing on July 13, 2003, 12:13:23 PM

As a child actor, Joe Cobb played "Fatty" in the early "Our Gang"
(Little Rascals) short comedies of the 1930s. By 1942, he was working in an aircraft plant. Identify the aircraft.

Exactly correct.

I suppose that Cobb worked on the Mitchell line because he was
a bit too rotund to squeeze into a P-51 fuselage to buck rivets. :D
