Photographic Memory II
















This is another of the old family photos.  This is my grandpa and dad test driving something they threw together out of parts laying around the farm.  This is around 74'.  

My grandpa crashed a P-51 in flight training in WWII and then was re-assigned to navigate on a B17.  His crew only flew one bombing run, which was over Germany.  He was one of three survivors.  He spent the rest of his life raising a family and working.  He worked on building bridges, dams and roads in the US, Australia and New Guinea.

I think your grandpa forgot the doors.
