| Lea , FL | My father, Dale Henriksen, was an aircraft mechanic on the Lexington CV2 prior to WWII. He has notes that he worked on the SB2U-2 Serial #1383 on display at the Museum in Pensacola. I would love any information on the plane or to hear from any crew member that worked with my dad. 12/29/2008 @ 14:44 [ref: 23371] |
