For a piece that I am contemplating writing -- it will be fiction, but
will involve some technology, and I want to make sure the technical stuff
is correct -- I am looking for pointers for good background information on
the OV-10 aircraft. I know that I can get basic statistical facts from
reference sources such as JANES. What I am looking for would contain more
background than that, such as handling peculiarities, etc.
Pointers to books and or articles would be appreciated. First hand stories,
if you've dealt with these aircraft, would be even better. (Yes, I've
already done a subject search our OUR on-line catalog -- with negative
results.) Unfortunately I never got to ride in an OV-10, though I did
ride in Army O-1s and Air Force O-2s as a passenger during my time in
Vietnam, 1969-70.
If memory serves correctly, both the AF and Marines had OV-10s. Is there
any difference in the versions? Has the Marine version ever been flown
off a carrier?
Please mail any info. Thanks -- Ernest
