Ditto from Me Travis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back in the late 90s, I was fortunate to do a week long living history display in Tiffin OH for a bunch of 5th graders. The teacher not only brought in myself, but also Robert Morgan, so I had the opportunity to spend the week with him and his wife. I'll have to see if I can find some pictures.

I've also met Gabby Gabreski during my WW2 living history travels back in the 90s. Unfortunately, I did not get to meet Jimmy Doolitle... He was suppose to attend the 8th Air force reunion in 1993, but he died just shortly before the reunion.

I'd like to have that book Jim. Do you know if it's still being published? I have Harry Higley's "Flying Around" which explains the fundamentals of control line principals.. and I have a few other books in his series. "Harry's Handbook" for miniature engines has a chapter on Cox engines, which is very helpful for the beginner to understand their principles of operation and proper maintenance.

Amazon probably has it. That's where I found and bought it. My son had checked it out from his school library years ago and I liked it. It's no longer in publication but it seems easy to find.

Thanks Jim. I'll see if I can find it. I'd also like to find "Building and Flying Control Line Model Airplanes" by Dick Sarpolus. All I have are a few photocopied pages from a library book from 25 years ago.

This little book was given to me as a gift. The author is Don Berliner.
