Brodhead Pietenpol Association

I started chasing this Pietenpol project because it matches my interest inaviation history with my desire to build an airplane. Along the way I havefound myself more and more curious about the airplanes history. I have readbits and pieces in different places, has this ever been gathered together?Are there any books (or historically detailed magazine articles) on theairplanes history? I am especially interested in the Bernie Pietenpol built(or kitted) Pietenpol's (how many, what configuaration gear on which ones,which engines on which ones, etc.) Were there any air campers with the SkyScout style gears? How about alternative radiator locations?I have been spending so much time trying to fix the configuration for myproject that I am interested in what the original configurations were.Thanks in advance,Kevinhttp://www.angelfire.com/va2/aerodrome/_______ ... __________

Hi Kevin,If you haven't read them, be sure and read the series of articles that BobWhittier did about the Pietenpol in EAA Experimenter a couple of years ago.They gave a pretty complete history of the airplane, including itspredecessors. If you can't find them, let me know and I will scan them andsend them to you. Veru interesting.Jack -----Original Message-----
