I got all of Don's books straight from his hands with pithy dedications of course.
I am in contact with his daughter, Donna, who is in Florida. She did the artwork for the book covers.
I must ask her if there are prints available especially the "Mosquito Racer" cover.
Do you want her contact info? Nice lady.
She is working on putting Don's works on Kindle or Kobo or one of those sights.

I flew a bit for the railroad on helicopters in the mid 80s and flew a lot of Geo survey out of Scheffervile, Septic Islands ( deliberate spelling errors ) and Lab City. Lots of aviation history in that area too.

Been to the Menihec dam strip where the tail of Don's Lanc that burned after the brakes gave up at the high landing weigh was still there. Being as they were carrying a cargo of fuel to the dam sight it must have been a sight when it burned. I was there in the late 80s so it may not be there anymore.
