When Kevin Kerle was researching his monograph on the Ryan STM he received considerable help from a lady at Grumman (in-house curator or historian who also visited the Avalon Airshow about 3 or 4 years ago?) and from someone at the San Diego Aerospace Museum. When he passed away the contact details for both have been lost. His co-author is trying to re-establish contact and has tried the more obvious approaches without success.

Can anyone on the list suggest who these two people were and/or who may be the appropriate person to contact at both organisations?

The monograph was subsequently published as "Ryan STM in Netherlands East indies and Australian Service" by Gary Byk and Kevin Kerle, Red Roo Publications, 2006

Suggest you contact Ty Sundstrom. He has considerable research experience with the all things Ryan, including SDASM. Some PT-22 restoration work too. e-mail:

ty@dawnpatrolaviation.com

check out:

It's his old site but still has photos and data of some of our projects from several years back.

Contact Mr. Alan Renga at the San Diego Air Museum; he works in the archives section, and he was really helpful when I went there in 2005 to conduct my investigation for an article on the Guatemalan Ryans.

There is some material left, after the fire that destroyed the archives several years ago.

Good luck!


Saludos,


Tulio
