    I have found Signal Corp restricted information letters handled during 1942 and they are an interesting read = they have been released now of course seeing as I am able to view them - only a few were given to service personnel in a censored manner - but clearly much different from their normal...

    No way to soak that hanging windshield at a 60 degree angle - two options - they come loose from heating and shooting with pent oil - or they get cut off and figure it out later so project can move on. Almost the same situation with all the side glass and frames as well. Hard to loosen with the...
