My father worked on the Martin assembly line in Baltimore. My mother
worked
there in the accounting department. She says that you wouldn't think it
possible
that they could lose something the size of one of "those big flying boats"
(as
she calls them), but, according to her, they did.

Nah, they didn't lose it! Someone stole it, one piece at a time, and took
it out of the plant in their lunch bucket. ;-o
