The drawings of the Loening I got from the NASM are copies of the original construction drawings/plans, " Key Drawing, complete fuselage assembly"," Model M-8-0" There is no name as to the person who actually drew it but just his initials that look like N.B. to me. Grover Loening's initials are shown in the "APP'D" box which I am guessing means approved by. This drawing is of the later model M-8-0 but I used it as a reference since it shows a lot of details not shown on the Tom Stark drawings. It is actually in 1/4 scale too. I did have to pay a little for this fuselage drawing. All the other drawings (wings, stab.& elevator, fin & rudder etc.) are on 8 1/2" x 11" paper. The NASM also provided cockpit photo's which you can't find any of the details of on the Tom Stark drawings since it only lists the instruments used.

It seemed to me that Wylam's Albatros and Pfalz weren't too accurate (though I like some of his other work a great deal), but I felt that Nieto's Curtiss JN4 and Fokker D.VII were very good, especially the former. I think the book would be worth having, particularly if the nostaglia factor is seen as significant. Ransom
