[Tigers] Alpine at Tahoe

[garywinblad at comcast.net]

Interesting..

To me it looks Tiger.

I think those "bonnet reliefs" look like "LAT-25 vents for steel hood" (IIRC, unfotunately TigersUnited.com does
not have a picture on-line)...  The "racing number" might(?) be from the fire retardant effect on top of the hot
engine..
I don't see wire wheels but aluminum wheels with larger width in the back.. and it looks to me that the rear
wheel opening is opened up.
And it does look like the bumperette, I think you can see the rear one too.
Maybe an Alger?

At any rate, I think the fire retardant can just be hosed off..  maybe the pilot purposely hit it to save it!?
