Re: SE-AGM ( 1 ), Aeronca C-3
I am an English aviation historian researching the detailed histories of all Aeronca C-1/2/3/4X aircraft for an Air Britain book.
A magazine article is mentioned. Would it be possible to get a scanned copy via this Forum?

Re: SE-AGM ( 1 ), Aeronca C-3
Here follows some reading about Aeronca SE-AGM i found on the web and my shelves. (I am not in the possession of the mentioned paper from SFF.) Some can be of interest.
From the Arthur Warensce scrapbook (from SFF): https://larsan13.files.wordpress.com/20 ... ug1938.jpg
Note that the crash took place 10 August 1938. Another date is given in many documents (and this thread). The correct date can be seen in my clipping from the SFF-published civil A-register (new edition; the old edition gives the wrong date) which also shows the plane fitted with skis:

The history of the owner, Leksands Flygklubb, was presented in "Svenskt Flyg och dess Män" in about 1939-40; the accident is surprisingly not mentioned but the plane, the pride of the club, can be seen and among the club board portraits can be seen its unlucky pilot: http://runeberg.org/flygman/0464.html (and following pages)
The engine was later used in a homebuilt plane, "Blixten" (the Lightning), that flew well but which did not have the necessary permits to continue flying. See http://arlandaflygsamlingar.se/wp-conte ... lingar.pdf
