Finaly got to look at it. They don’t have video cards in the work coputers.
That is Alan departing to go to WWII weekend in Reading PA. last week

The answer lies with the navy
originaly ships entered and tied up with thier left side to port to aviod damage to thier
rudder (steerboard) which was on the right (starboard)
Many of the early passenger aircraft were flying boats and followed many of the natical traditions hence left to port and that is where we enter
The other natical things are a Captian ,Water line on blueprints to indicate position on aircraft airframe and rudder ect

Try the latian Aviation historical society site
