I answered "BOOKS", as the first place I look is usually the squadron/signal series, or the Windsock Datafiles. I've bought every aircraft encyclopedia type book, and the other references, that I can find at my local Chapters bookstore, and built up quite a library over the 9 years I've been in the hobby. My wife kids me that I could buy a lot of planes and gear for the money I spend on books and mags, but they are a very fascinating part of the hobby for me.

Brad.

I answered other as I first try to find a veterans group that flew the plane I want to model. Then talk to them and find a good subject from that group. That way I always have info available first hand from the people that flew the full size plane. You can find out so much more this way as every group maintained and marked their planes in a different manor that you just can't find in a book or on the net.

I voted Other meaning: museums and historic organizations. I depend on archives. For the subjects I like there are no Photo Packs, no Profiles, only very few Books, not much to be found on the Internet and hardly anything in Magazines.

I chose, all of the above 
I will use the Internet, books, photo packs, museum stuff etc.
I will gather all materials for the project, not just one item.

I chose books as well, but quite frequently it is a meld of books and internet.

I may use the 'net to do initial research, and find the books or magazines that have the pictures and 3-views that are needed.

Besides, I am a bibliophile - I LOVE reading, that is probably the biggest thing that keeps me from building much, spending too much time reading about them!  I even bought a book in french recently, and I do not read/speak/write french.  My most recent purchase was a french/english dictionary
