Thanks for all the leads

I have been offered a copy from a member on another forum who is selling off his rare book collection.
Can't believe I am getting it as this is a rare book which of only 3000 copies were printed.
The last one I saw 10 yrs ago , the owner would not sell
Sometimes you get lucky I guess :D

BE CAREFUL! There are two books. #1 covers the years up to 1968, and was compiled solely by J. Griffin, and is quite rare. #2 Covers the years from 1968 on, so there is some overlap, but it is mostly the more recent decades. Written by Griffin and co-authors. Much easier to get your hands on this one.

These are two very different books.

Mike thanks but I am well aware of the newer version (#2)
I confirmed with the seller that it is (#1)the 1920-1968 book before paying
The only issue with the copy I bought is the dust cover is missing.
I think I can live with that :wink:

My Brothuhs from the Great Frozen North.

As long as we are discussing our inner-most desires... :rolleyes:

Would you happen to know where I could get a canopy roller bearing for a Fleet built PT-26?
And a latch mechanism for the front canopy? The pin broke off mine and it won't stay securely fastened.
