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.
