This section is will be used to help answer your questions. Please read through the questions and answers before contacting us. Thank you.
Q: Do you know where I can get a complete set of plans or drawings for (insert type) aircraft?
A: Unfortunately we only know of one company providing drawings for aircraft and they cover primarily Spitfire, Hurricane, Lancaster & Manuals though more drawings and types are being added. They can be reached at www.warbirdsrestoration.com.
Q: Can you help me find out more information about my relative who was shot down on some date while flying aircraft Europe?
A: As much as we would like to help this site and it's sub-sites are primarily devoted to the technical aspects of aircraft and we do not maintain any archives about aircrew or other personel, the exception being the Ace sections.
Q: How can I post images to the discussion groups?
A: The easiest way is to post them on Web Shots and link the image in your message. Mike Henniger has created a tutorial on how to do it. Thanks Mike.
