Bowlus built gliders here on the west coast in the late '30s and 40's, along with trailers. They weren't in CT at one time, were they?

Let's see Bell Aircraft then Republic might have been involved but I don't a clue as to what they were used for. Good luck to everyone else..

I wasn't anywhere the Corsair gathering, but this thing must have been on some kind of a display and it was a significant war effort contribution. Portable/Mobile/Emergency airfield control units (F.B.O's) or maybe Link Trainers. I'm just guessing, that's it for me....Good thread though.

Rob, they were used to house the transient plant workers on site during the war.

I know I said I was through with this thing but Sikorsky got me back in..
What's the timeline, maybe pre-war? I know Vought/Sikorsky built flying boats. Do I get the fur-lined hockey pot award?

Great ! Where do I claim my prize ? Did I win a sixpack of Moxie or a gallon of Roundup or are they one in the same :partyman: ?

Uh, thanks Rob, I think, tell you what why don't you send it down to Ryan K. It will cut down on postage and I'm sure he'd appreciate it. :lol:

Moxie

Better watch that Moxie stuff. I've heard it causes uncontrolled hair growth in all the wrong places, the vapors and gives you a uncontrollable urge to hunt for the White bird. Beware!!!!
