[Milsurplus] Mysteries

[Mike Feher]

With regard to Ken, as I recall he started selling a lot of his collection
on eBay once he found out he was ill. I got to know him fairly well as I met
him through work and he and his wife visited us here in NJ a few times. He
was a real gentleman and a very smart man. I have no idea about Bill's
collection. 73 - Mike

Now I am wondering about other mysteries of the universe, equally
impenetrable.

Like, what happened to Ken Lakin's collection ?

Like, what happened to Col. William Howard's collection ?

Where did Howard's paper go ?

What has me thinking again about this, is I recovered some paper I got from
him way back,

and had in storage since about 2002. For example, I found schematics for
Japanese aircraft 

radios 99-1, 99-3, and 99-5. I think what I got from him possibly barely
scratched the surface

of the documents he had collected.

 

I found also this curiosity: in a mil-manual style cardboard cover, a copy
of aviation aids for 

the Pacific area, 1944. And some radio logs. But - it's all copies, altho
the cover is right for

the period. I have no recollection of where I got that. But it is a VERY
interesting look at 

aircraft comms and navigation aid stations in the wartime Pacific.
