P-40 factory drawings for sale – source?

Hi all,

On Ebay I found this…
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Curtiss-P-40-Aircraft-Blueprints-Engineering-Drawings_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ26441QQihZ002QQitemZ4626775988QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD2V

A very interesting item but I heard a rumour that this seller is known for selling pirated stuff. But where did he get them from? I’m quite interested in this sort of stuff.

Another similar seller from New Zealand has been accused of pirating things too and indeed I spent hundreds of dollars on a product that was available from the White1 Foundation for only $50. I don’t wish to repeat giving too much money to the wrong person again!

Can anybody tell me where I can find these kind of digitised aircraft factory drawings that are not pirated?

Cheers!

PS. I am aware of:

Yes be careful mate.We tried to do a swap with “someone” with our spit drawings and manuals for some german stuff.Was quite interested to see our stuff online up for sale not long after…and no German stuff was sent back to us.Hmmmmm.There are a few P40 projects going on around the place.Ask nicely and they might bite.
