Does anyone have any suggestions for books (probably going back to the 1930s) that cover detail design of cable-braced airframes? Pros and cons of different cable bracing configurations, attachment fittings, carry-throughs, etc.? There must be documents out there but I can't recall seeing much in anything I have currently. And yes, for those of you keeping track, this is still with an eye to creating a modern incarnation of the Farman F.451 Moustique or F.455 Super Moustique or likely a hybrid of the two with the wire trailing edges and rakish fin of the single-seater but set up as a two-seater. Cheers, Matthew
