[Milsurplus] WW II Radio shops and Techs

[Lloyd Godsey]

Speaking of Howards:
One of the last if not the last of the breed is/was setting on an airstrip
south of Chandler Az on the Indian Res. Word was somebody was going to 
restore it.
Also
Going thru a box of books this AM I found a book of electrical drawings for 
Howard 250 tail no. N250N Wheaton Glass Co. Wonder where it ended up?
Thanx
