I have a vague recollection that I read (somewhere) that Scott got permission to distribute the Whittaker letters from the family, on the premise that he was going to continue the labor of love that Whittaker started. I also think he actually did continue to publish the Newsletter for a time. I may have gotten this from the last letter or two that was published by Whittaker's secretary after his death. I just can't remember.

Anyway, I think Scott is a great guy and always seems enthused to help out other Skymaster pilots. The original Whittaker letters are a valuable resource for 337 enthusiasts and the bulk of their content was actually contributed by other Skymaster pilots and industry folks. If Scott does actaully own an exclusive rights to the original letters, I can't imagine that he wouldn't be willing to work something out.

Anybody else have any recollections about all of this?
