Both these guys are classic extremes of how dumb luck can rule!
Blanton survived in spite of himself while Wittman died because of
himself. - Barnyard BOb -

Not so fast, BoOb. Wittman was around 90 when he died. At the time he
covered his aircraft with polyester fabric and used dope to glue and
finish
it, it was a popular thing to do. - jls

GEEZUS!!!!

Yeah, Geezus, I have read all the reports. He was flying back to Oshkosh
in the O&O Special, a kind of super Tailwind if his own design, behind an
O-470 at in excess of 200 mph. Get all your details together, if at all
possible.
