I agree that it is somewhat surprising that no one has raised their hand on the subject of the '35-'36, but as Dave has indicated, tackling one of these books, is not for the faint of heart. I note that you reside in Washington state which puts you at a disadvantage given how distant the Benson Ford Research Center is from you (and a thorough treatment of the subject cannot be accomplished without having backed up your observations with the original engineering drawings and release forms).

While some may disagree with its policy, the Club does not pay the expenses, travel or otherwise, necessary to educate potential authors on their chosen subject.

If the above does not discourage you, may I suggest that you pull together a CV and address it to either Dave or myself and we'll pursue your interest within the Club on a preliminary basis.
