Warbird Information Exchange

Starring Peter O'Toole. Anybody seen it? Anybody know what happened to the grumman Duck he rebuilt and attacked the sub with? Is it still around?

According to Warbird Directory #4 it is J2F-6 Bu33587.
Now on display in Dayton at the NMUSAF.

Frank Tallman got that duck from Junior Berchinal in trade for Frank's F4U

There were at least two Ducks used, plus a mockup that was blown up by the sub. There seems to be some dispute as to which Ducks were used, most survivors having had the film attributed to them at one time or another.
