Tell me now, what book do you have that adds several images/pages to itself each and every day?
CAUTION: This website, really a "giant free e-book", now has some 4,348 pages and at least 18,724 or so different images!!
(Not counting the hundreds of my daily "Toonies").
Over 14,451 of Beaver aircraft (my running tally - which is anything containing parts of a Beaver! - Hence different from Ian's Monthly Tally).
Even includes some videos and slide shows and large PDF presentations. WARNING: Could be very addictve.
My sincere thanks to my hard working research collegue, Ian S. Macintosh.
Special thanks to Nick Jackson, Jacques Guillem, Adrian M. Balch, John Mounce, Ian M. Macdonald, Dirk Septer, and many others.
