I am wondering if any person on earth might have a copy of the original blue prints of the liberty "V 12" engine. I would like to build a 1/4" lodel of this engine.
Thank you

Tommie - it would appear that the drawings you seek are commercially available from outlets like the following, if not from specialised libraries in your area: http://www.aircraft-manuals.com/li12aiaeendr.html
