| Sergey Kouznetsov Moscow, OTH | Hi from Russia!
I'm looking for some blueprints of Lockheed 8 Sirius for a friend of mine who is an avid air modeller fan. Would greatly appreciate any Internet links. Many thanks in advance. Sergey 10/29/2005 @ 03:12 [ref: 11601] |
| David Peters Rocky Mount,, NC | I have a photo taken in the very early 1930's of an aircraft that is noted as being Lockheed "Vega" low wing, which to the best that I can learn is non-existent. However, I believe this is a "Sirius". The notation on the back, as much as I can read, states," It was flown to France Field Panama from Washington D.C. in 19 hours and 22 minutes by the new head of the Army Air Force, General Fla---??" It was taken by my father and I have established that he was stationed at France Field with the 25th squadron in March of 1931. 11/29/2000 @ 13:50 [ref: 1111] |
