Drop tank info request

Posted by Dan K on Tue Sep 02, 2003 10:57:25 PM

Hi All,

I've managed to stumble onto what appears to be a number of drop tanks of various ages and sizes. I always like to know exactly what I'm purchasing, but the problem is that most have had a variety of attachments welded on at some point, and whatever identifying data plates or stencils have long since disappeared. Can anyone think of a source of information that could actually provide the exterior dimensions (length, circumference, etc.) of vintage USAAF and/or Navy drop tanks? I'm going to try to get some photos and measurements taken this weekend.

Thanks in advance!

Dan
