Well I have seen it mentioned often, John Aldridge refers to the Leedy "Alliance" in his book and a google search produces quite a few hits as well. Below is a link to a previous post here... Cheershttp://www.vintagedrumforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=40726&d=1331592455
Have any of your google hits shown an actual catalog or print ad with the name "Alliance". I tried that and the only mention are from people who have a snare or set and are calling it that. With all due respect to John Aldridge, I think that may be incorrect. His book makes no mention of the name "Dreadnought" in reference to Leedy's WWII drums. When I see an actual Leedy company reference to the Alliance name, I'll eat my proverbial hat! :-)
