What about Gary Larkins & The Air Pirates?

[VCS1]

Hello,
I just finished reading Carl Hoffman's wonderful book "Hunting Warbirds". It was a real "swash buckling" adventure book. Putting aside all the stories it had, I was kinda curious about what ever happened to Gary Larkins & the Air Pirates. I know he was tasked with the static "restoration " of the B-17E "My Gal Sal" for the Ultimate Sacrifice memorial in Ohio. Also I heard about the Hollywood movie that was supposed to involve him (but apprently never was made). I checked his web site but it is now down. So I turn to the WIX.....to find the rest of the story. Also did any of the parties mentioned ever recover the "Kee Bird" B-29 remains after it burnt up? (I bet Gary A. has a few stories about that)

The subject comes up every few months or so...to my knowledge nothing recovered yet. But I vaguely remember
some folk(s) wishing they had their stuff back which was loaned to get Kee back in the air. Over to those in the know...

That is true..............he still has his paperwork and is still waiting for his parts.
