| Jerry Gillming Lacey, WA | I worked for ACE FLYING SERVICE in Salem,Oregon and have many flying hours on B-18 N62477.
We use it as a spray plane and it worked very well at that job. Ace Flying Service had three B-18s at that time. Currently both of Leo Demers sons live in the Redmond, OR area. Thanks for the memories. Jerry Gillming,MSgt(usaf ret) 05/05/2011 @ 09:48 [ref: 37703] |

| LEE A PERNA ALEXANDRIA, VA | Correction: both aircraft sent to Brazil were B-18 models. 06/21/2009 @ 19:03 [ref: 24255] |
| LEE A PERNA ALEXANDRIA, VA | The two aircraft provided to Brazil were not B-18C bombers. This is a research mistake made by Robert Trimble in his article "Bolo: America's Forgotten Warrior" published in "Air Classics" in May 1980. This error has been propagated by other authors ever since. In fact, USAAF records show that B-18 S/N 36-300 and B-18A S/N 37-32 were transferred to Brazil in April/May 1942. Neither aircraft's record card reflects any conversion to a B-18C. 06/21/2009 @ 18:39 [ref: 24254] |
