With the proper wall shield you can go down to 12 inch clearance. What is the square footage you're heating?

Is the plane still on the tower in front of Bob and Carols? Unique property for the right individual.
Do you know where the original A frame house was?

The plane is still there, bob died about 7 years ago and Carol a couple months ago. The family auctioned off the estate but one of the boys got the plane so itll still be up camp creek, dont know bout the A frame.

With a proper 1" air gap shield I'd be good you think? distance to pipe still 18" though? Sq/ft about 1400

Welcome to the forum @Jrod12haag ! You actually have a Grandma Bear stove. The trees on the 76 Grandpa Bear are the taller trees, like the trees on the single door stoves, and they are farther apart where the doors come together.

Regardless, it's a nice looking stove!

I'll be damned, thanks

Yes, NFPA 211 has a section for unlisted stove reduced clearance. This is the Standard codes are adopted from.
1 inch air space with air intake opening at the bottom is easily achieved with cement board sitting on a few bricks to raise it. Standoffs must be something like ceramic fence insulators, but they are also made commercially for this purpose. You can apply any non-combustible brick or tile to the cement board surface. Also NO wall connecting support directly in the centerline behind stove.

18 inches is the minimum clearance for single all pipe. Double wall is for reducing clearance down to 6.

Size of shield must be so measuring from any stove surface to wall on any angle is no less than 36 inches.
