Amazing historical as blueprints of this age are so rare. What are the actual dimensions of this overall drawing ?

Is it possible to obtain a high resolution scan of this blueprint?

Kees Kort I believe around 3' x 5'

schulz_hl yes, please contact Debbie at dseracini@sdasm.org

Herman Osman Stickney Rear Admiral, United States Navy www.arlingtoncemetery.net/hostick.htm He was awarded the Medal of Honor while serving as a Commander for "Distinguished conduct in battle engagements of Vera Cruz, Mexico, April 22, 1914. He covered the landing of the 21st with the guns of the USS Prairie, and throughout the attack and occupation rendered important assistance to our forces on shore with his 3-inch battery."

This is c/n 8 NC864M after NYRBA Capt Herman Sewell lost both engines on 13 Aug 1930 while on his way to Havana from Cienfuegos. He made, as can be seen, a very credible landing with no injuries reported to anyone. Aircraft was repaired and survived all the way to Sep 1942 when it finally was destroyed in an accident. I was surprised about the name 'Porto Rico' since it has always been listed as named Puerto Rico! However my initial misgivings regarding the spelling capacity of NYRBA (Consolidated) staff I checked and found that Porto Rico was an old style spelling and can be found on for example older maps. Not a day without learning something new! Stig

Puerto became correct in 1932 apparently...so what language is Porto Rico...Portuguese? or Italian?
