Built of

A welded steel-tube fuselage and wooden wings, all covered in fabric: the construction of the 1930s and 1940s, which makes wood rot and fabric age the inspection items. The Stearman: welded steel-tube fuselage, wooden wings, fabric over all of it. This is how the Boeing E75 Stearman Kaydet family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.
