Hey Buzz, a good place to start for some close-ups of the cheeck panels is the book, "Medal of Honor; Aviators of WWI", by Alan F. Durkota. It has some close-ups of both Luke's SPAD, and Rickenbacher's. Lukes had the louvered panels removed to show the screen wire, and allow cooling. It's not really that small of a grid from what I can see. Rickenbacher's had the louvered panels in place. As an aside, a good replica of Capt. Eddie's medallion would be nice. JW
