Bebel Posted March 13, 2014 Share #403 Posted March 13, 2014 Those plotting boards are not very easy to find. And including all docs and maps from an operation theater and more, belonging to an ace, it's a superb stuff! Franck Link to post Share on other sites

Darkvalley Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share #409 Posted June 4, 2014 Hi Jerry Here is my latest acquisition. failing to read the date correctly, I would like to know if you have any information about this number of contract : NOa(s)-3196 ?

dustin Posted June 5, 2014 Share #414 Posted June 5, 2014 This contract was awarded in early 1944 and completed in 1944. I suspect that's your primary question. NOa or NOA prefixes are quite common this just means the contract was drafted and negotiated by the BuAer but funded by the BuS&A. It is also a Limited contract meaning it cannot be renegotiated finalized with a fixed price and specific quantity. The little s in parenthesis stands Supplies.
