To: HANG THE EXPENSE
My dad was in the 493rd. There is a picture of his outfit in Martin Caidin's Flying Forts book.

Not too many Forts left but I understand there is one being rebuilt in Urbana, Ohio and one in Batavia, Ohio.

I used to belong to the Yankee Air Force in Belleville, Michigan before their big fire.

Wish I could be polishing a wing right now!

Where is your favorite Fort?
