UPDATE on the airplane:
Henry Klett bought the plane from the military after
WWII. He flew it home and when it was
not air worthy any more, he placed it in front of the Klett Company. Klett instructed
pilots during the war and used a similar basic trainer at Dos Palos Airport in
California. Dos Palos was activated June
24, 1943 as a U.S. Army Air Forces primary (level 1) pilot training airfield.
Here's a now photo - thank you Google! |
That looks like the airplane that used to sit beside a house on Blessing Road.
ReplyDeleteHowever, as I have read, there were multiple small airports in that area, and so it is more likely related to those than this story.
