Driving in to work, the local NPR station (WHRO) had a brief story about Jerry Yagen- apparently, he's in Russia right now looking for a suitable Russian hangar to bring back and set up for his collection of Soviet aircraft. Additionally, there was discussion of a bronze monument featuring an American, UK, and Russian airman to be erected at the museum, partly to honor four Russian airmen along with a Canadian airman who were killed in the crash of a PBN-1 Nomad in the Pasquotank River on Jan 11, 1945 during "Operation Zebra".
