Wurtsboro used to have Birdogs - maybe they still do? I remember they
had a lot of spare parts in the hangar - wonder if the are still
there. Engines in cans, rows of wings stacked up. George used to hand-
prop the L-19 when I was flying there, not sure if the starter was
failed or missing, or if he just enjoyed hand-propping.

The author of the Bird Dog book, Minard Thompson has an office just
down the hall from my office here.
