marked as 129359".


John, I like airplanes in all shapes and sizes. I like knowing the
histories behind them. But, man, you actually keep track of them. I
can't imagine the time you put in. What kind of job do you have? Are
you employed in the aviation field ?

I CANNOT take credit for work that others have done, Joe Baugher
is the one whom I consider has the best job of tracking serials
I have added to his information, but I use his database as the master
reference. and send to him what ever I can verify.

I'm retired after 36 years in engineering prototype work.
also Ex-military, (Pathfinder with many hours in the air.)

right now I'm trying to find as much information I can about this airplane.
from what I have found, this plane when it crashed killed
my fathers best buddy. Dec 7 1941
