Hi guys
Noticed AACS and I'd like to send that article to my pal in Phoenix W5MFY.
Did a search at ARRL and nothing seems to match or is very old; what
issue was that article in?
Re the movie "Captains of the Clouds" 1942 might be the one mentioned .
The other film is my wife's favorite but didn't watch it; was one a few
months ago.
Re. the P-38:
I saw it last summer at the EAA convention in Oshkosh. Believe they call
it "Glacier Girl" . Awesome restoration
project ! Seems to fly very well . Cost far more than I believe they
budgeted.
