In the course of the model development we were joined by Dick Reynolds who is amidst finishing up his 1/10th. Trips to 9 static displays of B-47's served as an audit against the dims derived from the few measured drawings available. We measured B-47's from South Carolina to Nebraska and all points between. In the end the CAD was developed. Resources were skinny until Dick's trip to Smithsonian's archives where a pot of gold was discovered in unopened Boeing microfiche. With copies of technical docs most of our blanks were filled in. We are lucky that the microfiche survived because technical records were ordered destroyed during the cold war.
