  1. That was my dad's favored airplane when he was in flight school until he flew the the B-17. There is more to this story and I will tell you about next week.

    1. oh wow! You must have told me that he flew the B 17... and I've forgotten! I hope you have stories, and even more, that you have photos! Or things, like a flight jacket, or patches, or other memorabilia
