I have worked for Boeing, in the engineering model lab for the past fourteen years, and was recently laid off. I am searching all sources possible, for a set of "real" or "good" drawings of the Stearman PT13, PT17, or S2N. If any one knows where to obtain structural drawings, that's what I need. Boeing Archives will not release any thing of this nature without being an active employee, so I guess I've missed my chance there.
Thanks, K.Larson
