Curtiss A-10 Shrike drawings needed

[ACResearcher]

While I have tons of photos of the A-8/A-10/A-12 series of aircraft, I have been unable to find any drawings specific to the A-10. I'm especially interested in a GOOD side view.

Can anyone help me out here??

Thanks,

You're right, I couldn't find any good drawings of this plane.

Wow, you're right. Only one of those attachments even addressed the A-10 aircraft as requested.

Here are some profiles of the A-10 by Walter M. Jefferies (designer of the original starship Enterprise); excerpt from the Summer 1965 AAHS Journal.

Halfbad, EXCELLENT!! Those drawings should give me exactly what I need, showing the shape of the nose ahead of the firewall!

I appreciate those who shared the photos. I have all those and lots more, but appreciate the thought!!

Can you post a clearer scan of img549? I can almost read the airfoil information in the upper right corner, but need a clearer image.

Sorry, I don't have a clearer picture.

Sorry, I don't have a clearer picture.

It looks like I can order the drawings from the National Air & Space Museum, so I'll give that a try.
