My brother has two manuscripts from pilots he met: one is a B-26 pilot, the other is a B-24 pilot. These are unpublished and were written simply to record the individuals experiences. Good reads too.

Is there a museum that collects these sort of records?

Thanks all!

It would be an honor to have these taken care of at Warbird Heritage Foundation in Waukegan, IL.

Excellent David!

Just sent you a PM.

Send me your address so I can mail the manuscripts to you.

Thanks!

I'd be curious abut the B-26 logs. I live in MD, and my father worked at Martin Marietta for 25+ years. I'd love to see something like this go to the Martin museum here in Baltimore.

subject matter such as this will always find a home here on the site. I will find a place for it. A digital copy is easier but paper is good as well.

Scott,

Love the Mohawk do. But I agree....access to digital copies of stuff like this would be priceless. I hope you get to have a shot at these.
