New A-1 Lead

[33-1729]

Almost nothing has been documented on the A-1, but if you're in St Paul, Minn. now's your chance.

Guiterman Bros. (St Paul, Minn): Supplied three proposed A-1 jackets for government review (Sept 1927) and company purchase by Gordon & Ferguson Inc. in 1928/29.

Gordon & Ferguson, Inc. (St Paul, Minn.): Had A-1 jacket contract during 1928-1929 time-frame.

Records for both companies are held by the Minnesota Historical Society for research (link below).

It also could turn up some interesting information on their M-422A and AN-J-3A contracts. I hope someone pursues this lead!
