Here's a pretty good story.
My Father in Law was a Crew Chief in Tunisia in 1942, one of the first over.
Kind of a mechanical genius too.
He and a couple of other mechanics put together a 109 for fun in their spare time from wrecks on the field.
I'd tell you the story of his test flight, but it's classified.
The last two photos are when AAF Intelligence took it from him.
