Hello,

Here is a long shot.

Perhaps someone within the faculty and staff at this university read
material in the topic of your interest and might still have it? Smile.

Try "Faculty & Staff" on the left side of the entry page.

Then try "WMU Faculty Professors" - one of them might have something to
help?

Warm regards,

I worked on the site of the 1910 Wright Aircraft Company hangar at Huffman
Prairie, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, several years ago.  One of the first
hangars in the world.  USACERL (Champaign, Illinois) should be able to
direct you to the report; I have yet to see it.
