Back in WW2, the AAF trained gunners with the aid of the OQ-2A target drone made by the RADIO PLANE COMPANY starting in 1939 ( PIX ). Interestingly, Norma Jean Doughtery ( a.k.a. Marilyn Monroe ) worked for this company before she was "Discovered". Since more than 15,000 of these were made, I would like to get one, restore it and get it airborne again. Parts, shattered pieces, wrecks, or even complete plans would be helpful. Thank you for taking the time to read this NUTZ REQUEST.
