If anyone seeing this has had a look at our efforts on the Douglas B-18/B-23, Curtiss-Wright AT-9 Jeep and North American O-47, you'll know where this is headed.

Oh, shoot, now I
see you are Mr. Hagedorn! Now the "RB-18B" makes sense too! As in the
book you wrote on the B-18. (I'm not sure I would have realized that second point, except I still recall briefly speaking with you about it back at the Aviation Heritage Group conference in 2015.) I remember encountering a copy at Oshkosh back in 2016 and I found the research you did on the origins of the Bolo nickname very fascinating. So you must be working on a book about the O-52 then. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
As an aside, I take it you've already been in contact with Tim Savage about the O-52
project he has
for sale? He has an
account on WIX and posts every once and a while.
