   In that case, here's a little additional info that may be useful to   
   you:   
      
   If you live near Cincinnati or intend to visit Lunken, try to find out   
   who owns a Beech Staggerwing that was restored in a hangar there.  The   
   fellow who gave me the above info was restoring that Beech when I last   
   visited Lunken, perhaps 15  or 20 years ago.  He was also the fellow   
   who took me  through that hangar full of WW I aircraft many years   
   earlier.   
      
   The owner of that Staggerwing can surely identify him for you.
