    Wow, long ago and far away I drew (buildings) with ink on linen. We had an ammonia print machine in the back room. Stunk.

    Sorry for the sidestep, Bob....

    Bob- You might ask on the Aerodrome website. (theaerodrome.com)
    1/10 scale is pretty big. I have some 1/12 5 views of McCudden's SE-5a, but they were done in the early 2000s by Dan-San Abbott.

    You might want to contact the Owls Head Transportation Museum in Owls Head Maine to see if they have any interest in your prints. I would start by talking with their librarian/collections manager Sarah Dunne. They have a SE5A replica, but I am not sure of its flying status at the moment.

    Bob- The US license built the SE-5a as the Eberhart SE-5E in the early 20s, so those blue prints could have been helping the builders of those aircraft. Timing is about right. They were assembled from parts sent from the UK. The National Museum of the USAF has an SE-5E on display, or did last time I was there.
