I have been following this story since 1980. I've read or watched all the various expeditions attempt to retrive or even locate the planes. I was at Oshkosh in 1990 when they delivered the pieces right to the airshow via DC-3, as soon as they had pulled them out of the ice. I...
I just read that this phrase originated from the fact that old time hatters used to work with mercury, and that 1 in 10 would go insane as a result of mercury poisioning. Anyone else ever hear this? ....Jake
Finally found a picture of my favorite WWII artwork. It is called Silver Wings by James Dietz. I have a print of this that has been remarked by the artist. A remark is where the artist will draw or paint an orginal addition on the print to give it a more personal touch. Enjoy...Jake

I just got back from flying my Varga to the Florida Keys and back. Quite a trip from Wisconsin in a small plane. What an adventure flying across the everglades and the ocean on one engine and no floats. Some times you just have say the heck with the cost and live a little....Jake
