I am looking for some info on PSP (perforated Steel Plates - that were/are
used for temporary runways, aprons and parking areas. Also looking for a
source of approx 100,000 sq feet of the stuff if any is still around in
useable condition. Any pictures or data would be appreciated

Check the older 5- series US Army FM's/TM's; you may be able to find
the old roads/airfields TM available for purchase. Some info might
also be found if you check into the official US Army hostorical series
on WWII, which included a few volumes on engineer operations,
organization, equipment, etc. And IIRC the actual nomenclature was
"pierced steel planking"...

As to obtaining it today....maybe through a DoD surplus sale, but i
would not hold my breath.
