I have a photography (and negative) of the ANT-25 my mother took in 1937 when the plane landed near Hemet, Calif., near March AFB. The photo was taken with a Kodak Box Camera.

Beautiful aircraft. Are plans or blueprints available for this aircraft ? What was the wing spar made from ? An aluminum I bean, perhaps ? Thanks, George
