Dan, I noticed your add on Barnstormers for info on the Bellanca Flash and I remembered that 10 or 12 years ago I somehow contacted the son of Bruno Salvatori (Salvadori?) who was the chief engineer at Bellanca in the 40s.The son offered me a whole attic full of engineering books and records from Bellanca of that period. The father (Bruno) was in the late stages of Alshiemers at the time and the son had tried to donate the books to a museum but they wouldnt take it. I didnt have the money to have it all shipped to me then, and engineering books would have been way over my head. I gave the info to Bob, or it might even have been Larry D way back then , but I dont know whatever became of it. For someone who loves Bellancas as much as you do , it would have been a real treasure trove. Ask Bob if he has the address of the son, or I can go kicking through the dust piles in my garage and see if I still have the name and number of the son. I also have an historical foot note about Miss Veedall. Maybe something can come of this.______Grant.
