Interesting that it is called the Spuce Goose when the vast majority of the wood used was birch. The plane is on display at the Evergreen Aviation Museum, McMinnville, Oregon and it is worth seeing if you are ever in that area. I have attched some photgraphs of a fact sheet given out by the museum - please excuse the notes written on it.
