Fullerton Air Force B-18s

Fri May 10, 2013 5:36 pm

An early celebrity was daredevil test pilot Johnny Angel, who created a sensation when he flew a fleet of surplus B-18 bombers from Downey to Fullerton after World War II for repairs. He then led the fleet to Venezuela where he ran a transport operation. With an 86-foot wing span, the bombers are the largest planes ever to land at the Airport.


Anyone know what happened to these?

The registry shows one as 37-0022 - last seen in Alaska circa 1970.
