Re: Looking for information on SB-17G 44-85746

Thanks, guys! After a bit of a break (read: interference from real life), I've managed to get back to working on this- added a couple updates last night, and working on some more today! :) Air Depot, I have the detail and scale book- it's been extremely helpful in writing my description of the SB-17...
