My grandfather, Jack Bell, was a rare earths prospector and a newspaper feature writer. He became fascinated with aviation in 1922 and wrote extensively about the early airmail planes on the route between Reno NV and Oakland CA.

Your grandfather was quite a man. Thanks for sharing.

They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
