DO you have any idea which '29 they have?

My Dad was a crew Chief on Saipan. 29's are great birds, huge for a prop plane tho.

When they first put the 29 exhibit in at Dayton we went down with him and took the tour. That was a good day, Dad enjoyed it immensly. The POCI eventwas the first time since he died that I've been back. The boys loved it, Bock's Car brought back a lot of good memories.
