dmorrissette Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 Greetings Gents: Got this note from AMDG. If you can help, let me know (PM or e-mail) and I can get you in contact- Dave Morrissette: Finishing my P-47 instruction sheet profiles, I found only overall diagrams of propellers - like Squadron Signal drawings, very basic, with no dimensions or data attached.What I'm looking for, is drawing to confirm prop geometry for some early to late props, like presented on photos attached (early D-models - like on "Princess-Pat" photo, late D-model - like on 353rd FG photo, and N-model - like on the 318th FG photo). Could anyone please, e-mail me back with drawings clearly confirming shapes and dimensions of those props? ...thanks in advance for any form of "helping-hand" : )I know that few others type were also in service (early "tooth-pick", or later "paddle-blade" too), but it was possible for me to get informations from other resources - not necessary to help with that types of propeller.Regards,Mike Adamczyk
ghodges Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 Dave: you might refer AMDG to Sq. Sig's Aerodata International "Fighters of World War II", published in 1980 (not sure if it's still in print). It has 1/72 drawings of the T-bolt by A. Granger that look to be quite detailed. More importantly, they contain drawings of both the early Curtiss Electric, later Curtiss paddle blade, and later Hamilton Standard props, with dimensions, side views, and full blade profiles. If he can't find the book, perhaps he can track down the Granger drawings, which are dated 1978. GIL
