Great guy, very knowledgeable and willing to help out those who want to help conserve these. I'm glad to see him getting the attention he deserves.

I wonder if he is the gentleman that found the cache of turrets in the junkyard in Macon, GA many years ago?

Wow, very interesting. He has a small fortune there in those turrets I would imagine.

Met Fred at the Peachtree City GA Dixie wing CAF WWII days a few years ago. Genuinely nice guy and very skilled restorer.
