I need a PhD student!
One of the problems all postgraduate students in history face is defining a topic that will interest them while getting them a degree. Well, I have a topic.
I would love to see someone write the history of New England Airways. Not only will this get you a PhD, but it will almost certainly give you a base for a very good book!

Hi Ivory. No, I did not have anything organised. Rather, I was just trying to attract interest. Interesting comments on your family.
