For those of you who have "Touch of Class", there are several pictures
of Ercoupe on floats ("Seacoupe") from Page 206 through 209 as well as
part of the story behind the story. The life of the Seacoupe ended when
a CAA test pilot tore the right aileron off during a spin and he bailed
out and left the coupe to fend for itself. (Needless to say, it didn't
fend very well) If anyone has Coupe Capers Vol 6, #12 there is supposed
to be something there about it also.
