Stearman

I want to gather as much information and history as I can of Stearman serial no 75-2779.
US Army Air Corp serial no 41-25290, then N1323N prior to coming to Canada as CF-VOB in probably the 1960's, and later re-registered CF-BYI.
As CF-VOB it was operated on floats by General Air Spray in Ontario, as a crop duster with a P&W 985 engine.
Anyone who has any information or stories about this aircraft, it's pilots and mechanics, or Stearmans in general, please contact me.
Thank you.
