To whome it may concern,

My Grandfather was a navigator on a B-24 in WW2. A couple years ago when the 17 and 24 visited from the Collings Foundation I finally got to see and hear what my grandfather described. I fell in love with both planes and had always hoped to find one. Sadly I found how few survived and always thought that one the things Boeing could do is duplicate the aircraft. this would be inportant for generations to come. Currently the theme for my end of semester Wetern Civ paper is the Liberators.
