Re: Whatever happened to sudek13 and his massive collection?
I'm not quite buying the story that sudek13 was not a single individual. Whoever it is/was seems to have access to unlimited funds, which is generally not the case with aviation history authors who shouldn't give up their day jobs to feed their families. Yes, sudek13 did obtain the cooperation of a number of researchers that formed an inner circle. And, perhaps, one or more of these has acted to communicate for him. But, I don't think that this all started out as a cabal. It needed one rather rich person to spearhead it in the first place.
Regardless, there was a promise at one time to share the collection with the aviation history community. But, since then, nothing. That's why I wrote my inquiry in the first place.
