Looking for thread on discovered blueprints

Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:36 am

Keyword searches aren't helping - wasn't there a thread within the last 2 years where someone had discovered a large stash of manufacturer's blueprints and was sorting them with the possibility of digitizing some? I can't seem to find it, but maybe one of you recalls the topic?

Thanks,
Ken

Are you referring to the Ken Jungeberg collection going to AirCorps?

I think this is the thread you're referring to: The Ken Jungeberg Collection

If anyone is interested, since the initial announcement AirCorps Library has done a pair of podcasts with EAA's The Green Dot and the The Damcasters on the subject.

It's not a forum thread, but for reference the discovery was profiled in an Air & Space Magazine article.

Thanks everyone, these are great threads. In my mind, the results were Douglas, and mostly airliner, but my memory may be mistaken.
