The Biplane Bomber in the museum\u2019s collection is damaged and missing the tail and a wing.\u00a0 Museum Volunteer Gary Rice has spent about six months drawing a complete set of plans for the model by studying the model, known pictures, and published information to complete the missing sections.<\/p>\n

Gary’s research and notes as he was drawing the plans were extensive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Part of his research included putting a small camera inside the fuselage to find structural and clues left during the manufacturing process.<\/p>\n

The museum acknowledges that the plans for the Biplane Bomber are not 100% original, but they are as close as can be based on the original model and existing supporting evidence.<\/p>\n
