WWI Eindecker
 

I hope this is the proper forum to post this in.

I'm looking for an example of the instrument panel from a WWI Eindecker. I've tried several websearches, but to no avail. If anyone has a clear digital image that they'd care to pass along, it would be much appreciated.

I don't know if you could rightly say that the eindeckers had an "instrument panel." There were a number of instruments mounted here and there throughout the cockpit and more on the top deck (for example the fuel guage). There was a small board with a number of valves and tubes that crudely measures engine RPM by allowing the pilot to see spurts of oil. The area directly in front of the pilot did not have any instruments built into it.

I don't have access to any photos right at the moment.

thanks, i have to admit complete and utter ignorance on the subject-- i'm doing this search for one of my mother's clients.

Squardron/Signals publications has a book on the Eindecker. It will tell you all you need to know. Any decent hobby shop will probably have a copy or can get it.
