Need Boston Mk III references

[brady]

NP, glad I could do at least that much, have you asked the National Archive, or the Manufacture archive's? If you want I could inquire for you, also the Imperial War Museuim in England have always been very helpfull in this regard for pic's of subjects I have inquired about. And they do it in a timely maner. They have a fax number on their web page if memorie servies.

Not to mention the USSR got over 3000 of them.   A new paint job on the A-20 would give the VVS a medium bomber to fly until the Tu-2 gets here.

Personaly I am happy it is British collors:)

[Superfly]

Well, I'm sure there are more than enough variants to go around.  The French might even get one.  

What are the web addresses for those museums Brady?

Well i was thinking since your in texas and teh CAF is stationed in texas. Maby there is one they have you could look at.

[Superfly]

They fly in to Dallas occasionally, but I think they are stationed in Houston.  I had the opportunity to jump into their B17 when they flew into the Cavanaugh Museum back during my days with WB to take photographic references.  Got to sit in the pilot's seat,  the bombadier's seat and man the guns.  Very cool.

SuperFly,   CAF has a Central Texas Wing in San Marcos.   I could look up the numbers and call them and see if the have a B-20.  I know they have a B25 (HINT, HINT) and a P40 (MORE HINTS)

Anyway if they have one, I only live about 20 miles from San Marcos, I could drive over and take some digital pictures of the planes, and whatever details you need and send them to you.

If they dont have one, they may have materials I can copy or buy.

Let Me know.

 I would explore the first 2 options after inquiring at the Imperial War Museum First. You Might get a quicker response talking to the people at these Museums so they get to know you:) I spoke with some of them on the phone and they all said the same thing they nead a fax, letter or e mail to officaly start the search, all have a little diferent requiremnt so you may want to just call first.
