Portion of the armored glass wooden framing. Note the depressions
in which the screws were countersunk, joining the metal frame with
the canopy construction.
Detail showing the rounded end of the wooden frame. It is worth
noting the remains of the RLM 75 color, with which the entire frame
was painted. This artifact does not come from aircraft W.Nr. 681456
flown by Uffz. Eilmes, unlike the previous pictures of metal frames,
but rather from Sturmbock W.Nr. 681355 flown by Uffz. Zuber.

Drawing of securing armor glass and description of its
structure on the basis of measurements and study of actual
frames found at the wreckage of Sturmbock W.Nr. 681456,
as described in the article. Certainly, there are other historical
descriptions and drawings for factory workers, as well as for
ground personnel at unit level, as the R2 modification was
a field one. It can be assumed that they would have been issued
in pilot and maintenance manuals as well. So far, I have not
been able to examine such manuals describing modifications
to the. Should any of our readers have such material at their
disposal, I would be extremely grateful if they would contact me
