I just posted the expanded version of my Blue Sucker article from the January 2015 AC. It's got more info, more photos, a full bibliography, links to source texts online, and downloads of the sucker sections of some old books and articles.

Love those swept back pectoral fins! They really show well in those photos you used. Nice work with the whole article,too. (Your bibliographic format disclaimer is nice, too.)

And one of several reasons that our recent copies of AC have been so fantastic.
What dude said. Can't wait for more!

Thanks, guys.
You're right about the pectorals' shape. It reminds me of the futuristic aircraft on the covers of 1930s pulp novel covers.
