The Sun Ship Game and the 1969 US Nationals
I am researching the film 'The Sun Ship Game' which
featured George Moffat and Gleb Derujinsky in the 1969 Sugarbush Regionals in Vermont and the 1969 US Nationals in Marfa. I would appreciate any recollections of these two contests and their filming and would especially like photographs. Can anyone help? |

I can't help with your research, however when you have
finished would you consider publishing an artical on www.glider-pilot.co.uk? Ben |

He is a wellspring of lore about that film. Burt has been in touch with the film-maker in recent years to duscuss reproduction rights. I bet you could talk with George and Gleb too. Many of the participants are still around. Burt has been pretty busy lately but I'd be surprised if he wasn't lurking... Better yet, just go down to Marfa for a week, fly around the task area, meet pilots and townspeople who where there during the film, see the locations first hand, have a drink in the same bar where the sunburnt pilots recounted their flights in the film. That is some quality research! |
