Texas Airplane Factory - Herb Tischler & Ki-43 Jigs

Sun Jun 17, 2012 6:36 am

Can anyone enlighten me as to what happened to the Ki-43 Jigs after the Texas Airplane Factory shut down? I know where the Ki-43 rebuilds ended up, and I believe the original wreckage(including engines) is with Jerry Yagen. But what happened to the fuselage and wing jigs. I've had no joy trying to track down Mr Tischler, is he still alive? How about any of the original sheetmetal team involved in the rebuilds are they still involved with the warbird industry?

Any assistance appreciated.
