Tom,

You're absolutely right. History is all around us if we open our eyes! Thanks for pointing them out.

Scott, I can't argue with the measuring stick. Thanks and I stand corrected.

Jack

Heck, Jack--I thought for the past eighteen years that they were built during the WWII timeframe. Shows what I know!

Scott,

There used to be a brass plaque on the wall in Hangar 5 stating that it won a design and construction award in1969.

Hello,
I just discovered this string.
I'm working on a story of a specific plane, a B-17G built by Lockheed Vega in their California Burbank plant.
After being built it was sent to the Tulsa Modification Center.
Would you know if there is any way to trace a specific plane and find what was the work done on it when in Tulsa ?
Thanks

Posting the serial number couldn't hurt.
