I found a great site for pre 1940 3 views and photos-renderings of many subjects.

I emailed the site provider to thank him for the 3 view of the Fokker Universal that I have been searching for. I have become interested in some of the subjects that deserve real recognition for opening the north and are not often modelled. He replied, saying there hasn't been much interest. He hasn't added much lately for that reason. I hope he receives more moral support for doing all this work simply for others benefit of his interest.
Pic is wreckage of Bird's Fokker Super Universal in 1928-1930 Antarctic expedition.
It was wrecked during a storm when it was ripped from its tie-downs by a gust of wind estimated to be around 150 mph.
If anyone else has 3 view, maybe with float that they could email me. I'd like to build one.
