Time Flies Info sought...
Mon Oct 09, 2006 2:25 pm
Hello all,
Already posted this in the Vintage aviation section, seems appropriate here as well. I'm new to this group and very interested in all things connected to the Golden Age of aviation, especially air racers! I'm presently researching the Time Flies. As some of you may know this was a race plane designed by Howell Miller (of Gee Bee fame) and flown before WW2. I am currently trying to see what information is left on this plane and in it's latter rebuilt form, the Miller HM-1. So I am looking for the following info:
-Any drawings and or blueprints of the Hawks Time Flies racer?
-Any other drawings or scale drawing of the plane?
-Any pictures showing the plane under construction?
-Any pictures of internal areas of the plane for example cockpit, engine, wheel wells other detail and or close up pictures.
-Any other pictures and/or specifics on this plane.
-Other documents related to this plane and it's construction.
I would be interested to get into contact with people that are building or have build Gee Bee replicas (the gentlement building the Q.E.D. springs to mind) to get into contact with them and see where they got their info. Any help somebody can offer or information would be much
appreciated. In addition, should somebody have any leads to any museums or people that are worth getting into contact with please let me know. Many thanks in advance!
Regards,
Roel

You might contact Ed Maloney at Planes of Fame (http://www.planesoffame.org). He is a renowned authority on the pre-war racers.

Hi Roel: If you leave me a PM with your email address, I can send you a set of scale drawings for the two variations of this racer.
