Andrew Bennett had originally posted the address for the National Air
& Space Museum archive search service. They have recently moved. Their
new address is:

 NASM
 Archives Division
 Room 3100
 MRC 322
 Washington, DC 20560

Same deal - send them a letter requesting info on no more than 3
aircraft. They will respond (hopefully) within 2 weeks on what info
is available. You then send a check & they ship the stuff via UPS. The
prices quoted were very nominal - something like $0.35 square foot for
reproducing large size plans. There is a $3.50 UPS shipping charge.

The fellow I talked to said they had things like the original
manufacturer's drawings and maintenance manuals for some aircraft as
well as plans specially made for modellers.

I recently requested info on some aircraft that I want to model. I
will post a followup when I get a reply from the folks in DC. This
sounds like a good use of my Tax Dollars at last! (Has anybody out
there got info from them?)
