					| Two suggestions: 1) Join ABS (www.bonanza.org ). 2) Buy, borrow, or steal a copy of Larry Ball's book "From Travel Air to Baron, How Beech Created a Classic".  I tells the story of developing the Baron along with specifics of the improvements and changes Beech made from year to year.https://tinyurl.com/TravelAirBaronBook
