USS Langley references
Posted by Don Stauffer on Friday, June 28, 2013 9:36 AM

I am contemplating a build of the Langley, the US' first aircraft carrier. I have found some stuff, including a reasonable profile drawing.  However, I'd need drawings of some other views to make a decent build. Has there ever been a book on the Langley?  Anyone know of any good drawing sets?  I might go with a waterline model to eliminate needing underwater hull curves, but definitely need more drawings of superstructure.

Time Life books had done a good review on the Langley in their seafarers series.  I have a copy and will look at the closeup images..

Rob, I particularly need a good view of the girder structure that holds up the flight deck.  Most of them seem to be about the same.
