...that was so he could fill it up with extra fuel in the front. The whole airplane was a ginormous set of fuel tanks, that could be adjusted for weight balance.

They  used to have that sucker hanging in the Smithsonian Air and Space museum front hall.  Not sure if it's still there.

It was there five years ago, that much I know. There is a replica in the Henry Ford Museum. I've seen them both.
