Here is a Photo Archive that might help. http://www.navsource.org/ If anyone would like to model the Texas BB35 please get in touch with me by email. Had someone working on it a couple of years ago but they dropped the project. :-( Any one interested in a bit of oral history from a WWII Sailor about the Texas is welcomed to look at my Dad's site. Thank to the Creator, this sailor is still here and of course still a Navy man in love with his old girl of the sea. :-) http://www.lilwolff.com/Memories/History.htm (the java, if you have it blocked till you ok it, like me, is the Texas on water) Will keep watching threads like these to see if I can contribute anything. WWII - Army, Navy and Vietnam era sources. Have some old NY newspapers, pertaining to WWII will carefully look through them again and see if there are any references that can be of use to anyone.
