I'll make a couple of phone calls and send a few e-mails and see what I can do. The guy who has the book is underway right now on the Coast Guard Cutter Forward, but I know how to get in touch with him underway. If he agrees I can go over and pick it up from his wife and either take it to have it copied or if he agrees send it out FedEx to you guys there.

I know he's going to be very happy to see it in the game. Those of you at the last con might remember the guy. MartyB. Tall goofy looking guy that was set up between Doobs and me on the left side of the room. I know I saw Dale talking to him for awhile. I think he even showed Dale that manual because he brought it out there with him.

This site brags 500 photos,2 movies & 8 memorabilia items

http://www.midwaysailor.com/photos/mitchell.html

B25 fans might want to consider this CDROM from the Mid Atlantic Air Museum

"The aircraft's exterior and interior feature "extreme photo-realistic textures derived from thousands of digital photographs. The sounds of the mighty Wright Double-Cyclones were recorded in the real plane, of course. 'BT's flight performance has been painstakingly reproduced in the simulation's flight model"

I guess I should be more specific as to my request....


I'm looking for stuff a little more uncommon - like engineering drawings or personal pics / period pics.

I've got pretty much the standard fare of books (squadron/signal stuff, some of the polish stuff, as well as a few operating manuals and the parts manual for the b-25c/d versions.

I guess I'm looking for dimensioned hi-quality drawings / original blueprints of the general assembly / parts.


stuff like this:   p51 engineering drawings


But - keep posting links/ ect... there might be something I haven't found yet.

:)

Yeah - only problem with those is that it usually takes 4-6 weeks for them to process a request :)

Especially cockpit and other station areas.


Thanks for the help!

If you want i will go to Wright Patterson & get you some pics and digital Video.Let me know if so.
