Hello - I'm wondering if someone has a source for the Martin decals that appeared on the armor plate, or data plates? We are restoring the turret to working order this Spring, at least so we can turn it with the hand cranks, and need a little help. Also, anything on the B-3 drift sight...

Thank you Sam for your courage and sacrifice, so we can live free today...... I will be buying your book in a few weeks. John

Hello all - What are the odds of someone having some type of manual or direct me to technical information about a B-3 Drift Sight? Any help would be great Thanks!

Dave's Custom Sheetmetal \ Aircraft - Warbird Restoration and More This is the web-site to Daves PV-2 that was in the video. His PV-2 was part of the Empire Express like ours during WWII, I like what he named it and the nose art.

Here is the video for the test flight, its a friend of ours in Utah, he spent about 200,000 dollars restoring this PV-2 to original war time configuration, inside and out, this flight took place in June 2008. I think he has another engine on it now. Our pilot Steve went out to do the test...

When I get home from the hangar today, I will try to figure out how to post a link to a video of a friend of ours in Utah, he just completed restoring a Harpoon model D, our pilot went out to test fly, and there were engine problems in flight, its a great but scary video. Keep 'em flying John

Thank you, this is a great forum and information center. We'll have the Harpoon in the air soon, the engine should be back from Idaho in a few weeks. We worked all last winter (7 months of weekends) on the engine, hung it this spring, did about three hours of ground testing, and it locked up...
