| Gene D. Los Angeles, CA | I worked as a flight line mechanic for American Export in 1944-45. It was a pleasant surprise to come accross this website. Brought back memories, especially one of working on last minute preflight inspections on the engines while the planes were in the water. I'm sure you know that sections of the leading edges of the wings flipped down to provide a small platform for these tasks. Working in the winter cold with your tools tied to your belt with strings (dropping a tool over the water was the end of that) was pretty exciting for a 16 year old. Thanks for the memory. 08/15/2007 @ 13:38 [ref: 17617] |
