Actually, I found the 'plans' confusing and contradictory, as the
cross-sections appear to have 'down' towards the tail, while the plan
views, matching what I recall of how the pilots entered their planes,
are
'wet navy'.

However, while not the unreserved fan the owner of the site obviously
is,
and in spite of having my comments about the weirdness of flyboys going
groppo pitched back in my face by my favorite character ;->= , I shall
still mourn a show that had way more promise than chance given, and
showed
way more of that promise than acknowledged by most critics I heard at
the
time, or by many shows of the period.

I know I'll be flying not-hammerheads out of not-Saratoga's with honor!
